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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs) and multimodal LLMs in interpreting the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categories and providing clinical management recommendations for breast radiology in text-based and visual questions.

methodsThis cross-sectional observational study involved two steps. In the first step, we compared ten LLMs (namely ChatGPT 4o, ChatGPT 4, ChatGPT 3.5, Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, Google Gemini 1.0, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, and Claude 3 Opus 200K), general radiologists, and a breast radiologist using 100 text-based multiple-choice questions (MCQs) related to the BI-RADS Atlas 5

resultsClaude 3.5 Sonnet achieved the highest accuracy in text-based MCQs (90%), followed by ChatGPT 4o (89%), outperforming all other LLMs and general radiologists (78% and 76%) (

conclusionAlthough LLMs such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet and ChatGPT 4o show promise in text-based BI-RADS assessments, their limitations in visual diagnostics suggest they should be used cautiously and under radiologists' supervision to avoid misdiagnoses. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that while LLMs exhibit strong capabilities in text-based BI-RADS assessments, their visual diagnostic abilities are currently limited, necessitating further development and cautious application in clinical practice.
