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

We evaluated the efficacy of large language models (LLMs), specifically, generative pre-trained transformer-4 (GPT-4), in predicting pregnancy following in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment and compared its accuracy with results from an original published study. Our findings revealed that GPT-4 can autonomously develop and refine advanced machine learning models for pregnancy prediction with minimal human intervention. The prediction accuracy was 0.79, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was 0.89, exceeding or being at least equivalent to the metrics reported in the original study, that is, 0.78 for accuracy and 0.87 for AUROC. The results suggest that LLMs can facilitate data processing, optimize machine learning models in predicting IVF success rates, and provide data interpretation methods. This capacity can help bridge the knowledge gap between data scientists and medical personnel to solve the most pressing clinical challenges. However, more experiments on diverse and larger datasets are needed to validate and promote broader applications of LLMs in assisted reproduction.
