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

Background: This study evaluates the performance of GPT-4o in detecting errors in ACR TIRADS ultrasound reports and its potential to reduce report generation time. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 200 thyroid ultrasound reports from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University was conducted, with reports categorized as correct or containing up to three errors. GPT-4o's performance was compared with ultrasound physicians of varying experience levels in error detection and processing time. Results: GPT-4o detected 90.0% (180/200) of errors, slightly less than the best-performing senior ultrasound physician's 93.0% (186/200) with no significant difference ( Conclusions: GPT-4o is comparable to experienced ultrasound physicians in error detection and significantly improves report processing efficiency, offering a valuable tool for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and aiding junior residents.
