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

backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) has become a popular tool for clinical and research use in the medical field. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a generative AI tool on pediatric familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).

methodsFifteen questions repeated thrice on pediatric FMF were prompted to the popular generative AI tool Microsoft Copilot with Chat-GPT 4.0. Nine pediatric rheumatology experts rated response accuracy with a blinded mechanism using a Likert-like scale with values from 1 to 5.

resultsMedian values for overall responses at the initial assessment ranged from 2.00 to 5.00. During the second assessment, median values spanned from 2.00 to 4.00, while for the third assessment, they ranged from 3.00 to 4.00. Intra-rater variability showed poor to moderate agreement (intraclass correlation coefficient range: -0.151 to 0.534). A diminishing level of agreement among experts over time was documented, as highlighted by Krippendorff's alpha coefficient values, ranging from 0.136 (at the first response) to 0.132 (at the second response) to 0.089 (at the third response). Lastly, experts displayed varying levels of trust in AI pre- and post-survey.

conclusionsAI has promising implications in pediatric rheumatology, including early diagnosis and management optimization, but challenges persist due to uncertain information reliability and the lack of expert validation. Our survey revealed considerable inaccuracies and incompleteness in AI-generated responses regarding FMF, with poor intra- and extra-rater reliability. Human validation remains crucial in managing AI-generated medical information.
