A review of studies published in JAMA Network Open found few randomized clinical trials for medical machine learning algorithms, and researchers noted quality issues in many published trials they analyzed. The review included 41 RCTs of machine learning interventions. It found 39% were published just last year, and more than half were conducted at single sites. Fifteen trials took place in the U....
