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

objectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of multimodal large language models (LLMs) in detecting cases requiring immediate radiology reporting in pediatric radiology. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy-one publicly available, paraphrased pediatric clinical vignettes with images-sourced from the

resultsLLMs demonstrated 60.6%-83.1% accuracy in detecting cases requiring immediate radiology reporting: 57.7%-81.7% and 53.5%-87.3% for KTAS levels 1-2 and CVR cases, respectively. Gemini-Flash with t1 showed the highest accuracy among the LLMs: 83.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 74.6%-91.5%), 81.7% (95% CI: 71.8%-90.1%), and 87.3% (95% CI: 78.9%-94.4%) for identifying cases requiring immediate reporting, KTAS level 1-2 cases, and CVR cases, respectively, despite its low sensitivity for CVR detection (3/11, 27.3%). Human readers demonstrated 62.0%-84.5% accuracy for immediate radiology reporting, 73.2%-84.5% for KTAS levels 1-2, and 39.4%-94.4% for CVR cases. The accuracy of Gemini-Flash t1 in identifying cases requiring immediate radiology reporting was comparable to that of the most accurate human reader (vs. expert pediatrician: 84.5% [95% CI: 76.1%-93.0%];

conclusionMultimodal LLMs may achieve overall accuracy comparable to or exceeding that of human readers in identifying cases requiring immediate radiology reporting, supporting their potential use for pediatric radiology worklist prioritization. However, the models' sensitivity in detecting such cases was not reliable.
