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

This review explores the potential applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) in nuclear medicine, especially nuclear medicine examinations such as PET and SPECT, reviewing recent advancements in both fields. Despite the rapid adoption of LLMs in various medical specialties, their integration into nuclear medicine has not yet been sufficiently explored. We first discuss the latest developments in nuclear medicine, including new radiopharmaceuticals, imaging techniques, and clinical applications. We then analyze how LLMs are being utilized in radiology, particularly in report generation, image interpretation, and medical education. We highlight the potential of LLMs to enhance nuclear medicine practices, such as improving report structuring, assisting in diagnosis, and facilitating research. However, challenges remain, including the need for improved reliability, explainability, and bias reduction in LLMs. The review also addresses the ethical considerations and potential limitations of AI in healthcare. In conclusion, LLMs have significant potential to transform existing frameworks in nuclear medicine, making it a critical area for future research and development.
