1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionWith rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical documentation, responsible implementation of this tool is imperative in preserving the patient-physician relationship. Orthopaedic oncologists were surveyed to assess their utilization of, and attitudes towards, ambient listening software.

methodsAn anonymous, voluntary, IRB-exempt survey (Appendix) was reviewed and distributed to members of the MSTS via the society's email listserv and distributed in paper and electronic formats to attendees at the AAOS Oncology Subspeciality day from March 14 to May 22, 2025.

resultsSixty-three orthopaedic oncologists responded to the survey. Most (93%) practiced in an academic setting. Twenty-seven percent reported using AI with a majority using Dax Copilot. Half of AI users noted a positive impact on clinical encounters, and one respondent reported a negative impact. Most AI users (86%) reported improved efficiency and accuracy in documentation and 40% reported saving 1-2 h per clinic day. Of non-users, 71% were considering implementation.

conclusionAlthough most orthopaedic oncologists are not using AI, the majority are considering implementation. AI users reported improvements in their documentation efficiency and accuracy. Further research is needed to understand the risks and benefits of this clinical tool from both providers' and patients' perspectives to guide responsible, widespread implementation.
