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

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs) and their multimodal counterparts, multimodal large language models, including vision language models, have generated considerable interest in the global AI discourse. LLMs, or pre-trained language models (such as ChatGPT, Med-PaLM, LLaMA), are neural network architectures trained on extensive text data, excelling in language comprehension and generation. Multimodal LLMs, a subset of foundation models, are trained on multimodal data sets, integrating text with another modality, such as images, to learn universal representations akin to human cognition better. This versatility enables them to excel in tasks like chatbots, translation, and creative writing while facilitating knowledge sharing through transfer learning, federated learning, and synthetic data creation. Several of these models can have potentially appealing applications in the medical domain, including, but not limited to, enhancing patient care by processing patient data; summarizing reports and relevant literature; providing diagnostic, treatment, and follow-up recommendations; and ancillary tasks like coding and billing. As radiologists enter this promising but uncharted territory, it is imperative for them to be familiar with the basic terminology and processes of LLMs. Herein, we present an overview of the LLMs and their potential applications and challenges in the imaging domain.
