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

purposeTo assess the performance of GPT-4 Turbo with Vision (GPT-4TV), OpenAI's latest multimodal large language model, by comparing its ability to process both text and image inputs with that of the text-only GPT-4 Turbo (GPT-4 T) in the context of the Japan Diagnostic Radiology Board Examination (JDRBE). MATERIALS AND

methodsThe dataset comprised questions from JDRBE 2021 and 2023. A total of six board-certified diagnostic radiologists discussed the questions and provided ground-truth answers by consulting relevant literature as necessary. The following questions were excluded: those lacking associated images, those with no unanimous agreement on answers, and those including images rejected by the OpenAI application programming interface. The inputs for GPT-4TV included both text and images, whereas those for GPT-4 T were entirely text. Both models were deployed on the dataset, and their performance was compared using McNemar's exact test. The radiological credibility of the responses was assessed by two diagnostic radiologists through the assignment of legitimacy scores on a five-point Likert scale. These scores were subsequently used to compare model performance using Wilcoxon's signed-rank test.

resultsThe dataset comprised 139 questions. GPT-4TV correctly answered 62 questions (45%), whereas GPT-4 T correctly answered 57 questions (41%). A statistical analysis found no significant performance difference between the two models (P = 0.44). The GPT-4TV responses received significantly lower legitimacy scores from both radiologists than the GPT-4 T responses.

conclusionNo significant enhancement in accuracy was observed when using GPT-4TV with image input compared with that of using text-only GPT-4 T for JDRBE questions.
