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

Objective: To systematically evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) compared with obstetrics-gynecology residents in clinical decision-making, examining diagnostic accuracy and error patterns across linguistic domains, time constraints, and experience levels. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 8 AI LLMs and 24 obstetrics-gynecology residents (Years 1-5) using 60 standardized clinical scenarios. Most AI LLMs and all residents were assessed in May 2024, whereas chat GPT-01-preview, chat-GPT4o, and Claude Sonnet 3.5 were evaluated in November 2024. The assessment framework incorporated English and Italian scenarios under both timed and untimed conditions, along with systematic error pattern analysis. The primary outcome was diagnostic accuracy; secondary end points included AI system stratification, resident progression, language impact, time pressure effects, and integration potential. Results: The AI LLMs reported superior overall accuracy (73.75%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 69.64%-77.49%) compared with residents (65.35%; 95% CI, 62.85%-67.76%; Conclusion: High-performing AI LLMs reported strong diagnostic accuracy and resilience under linguistic and temporal pressures. These findings suggest that AI-enhanced decision-making may offer particular benefits in obstetrics and gynecology training programs, especially for junior residents, by improving diagnostic consistency and potentially reducing cognitive load in time-sensitive clinical settings.
