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

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based large language models (LLMs) are promising tools for clinical decision support, but their clinical performance in specialized fields such as nephrology is still uncertain. ChatGPT and Claude represent distinct AI architectures with potentially different clinical utilities. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy, treatment recommendations, and overall clinical utility of these two AI models in managing real-life difficult nephrology cases. Material and methods: Twenty-two real nephrology cases from a tertiary care university hospital were presented to both models, covering disorders such as glomerulonephritis, acute kidney injury, vasculitis, and transplant complications. Each model's output was assessed for diagnostic accuracy, risk evaluation, test recommendations, and treatment planning. Three independent nephrologists evaluated the responses using the Quality Assessment of Medical Information (QAMAI) and Global Quality Score (GQS) tools. Statistical comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with Results: Claude achieved higher diagnostic accuracy than ChatGPT (4.59 ±0.41 vs. 4.36 ±0.48; Conclusions: Both ChatGPT and Claude demonstrate notable potential as decision-support tools in nephrology. Claude provided slightly higher diagnostic accuracy, while ChatGPT offered greater clarity. Despite these promising results, clinical judgment remains essential when interpreting LLM-generated suggestions.
