ChatGPT and Gemini for Patient Education: A Comparative Analysis of Common Pediatric Exanthematous Conditions.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
introductionVaricella, hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), and measles are some of the common causes of fever with rash in the pediatric age group. ChatGPT and Gemini are effective large language models (LLMs) for parents to understand their child's condition. Therefore, considering the growing popularity of artificial intelligence (AI), LLMs, and their ability to disseminate health information, assessing ChatGPT's (OpenAI, San Francisco, CA, USA) and Gemini's (Google LLC, Mountain View, CA, USA) quality and accuracy is essential. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on responses generated using AI for common causes of fever with rash in the pediatric age group, namely varicella, HFMD, and measles. ChatGPT and Gemini were used for the generation of brochures for patient education. The responses generated were evaluated using the Flesch-Kincaid Calculator (Good Calculators: https://goodcalculators.com/), the QuillBot plagiarism tool (QuillBot, Chicago, IL, USA), and the modified DISCERN score. Statistical analysis was done using R version 4.3.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria, https://www.R-project.org/), and unpaired t-tests were used to compare the various scores. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsIt was found that ChatGPT generates a higher word count as compared to Gemini (p=0.047). Sentences, average words per sentence, average syllables per word, ease score, and grade level between the two AI tools were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). The mean reliability score was 3/5 in the case of Gemini versus 2.67/5 in ChatGPT, but the difference was statistically insignificant (p=0.725).
conclusionsThis study highlights that ChatGPT generates more word count than Gemini, and the finding was statistically significant (p=0.047). Additionally, there is no significant difference in the average ease score or grade score for common pediatric exanthematous conditions: varicella, HFMD, and measles. Future research should focus on improving AI-generated health content by incorporating real-time validation mechanisms, expert reviews, and structured patient feedback.
