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

Objectives: This study compared the readability of patient education materials from the Turkish Ophthalmological Association (TOA) retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) guidelines with those generated by large language models (LLMs). The ability of GPT-4.0, GPT-4o mini, and Gemini to produce patient education materials was evaluated in terms of accuracy and comprehensiveness. Materials and Methods: Thirty questions from the TOA ROP guidelines were posed to GPT-4.0, GPT-4o mini, and Gemini. Their responses were then reformulated using the prompts "Can you revise this text to be understandable at a 6 Results: The TOA brochure was found to have a reading level above the 6 Conclusion: GPT-4.0 appeared to have greater potential for generating more readable, accurate, and comprehensive patient education materials. However, when integrating LLMs into the healthcare field, regional medical differences and the accuracy of the provided information must be carefully assessed.
