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

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise for enhancing medical education, particularly in complex fields like cardiology. We assessed the ability of a large language model (LLM) to generate and evaluate educational material comparable to that created by human experts. Methods: We trained an AI model on cardiology-specific content using 80 lectures from the St. Michael's Hospital Virtual Echo Rounds. The AI generated 10 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and experienced cardiologists crafted an additional 10 MCQs. Eleven postgraduate year 4-6 cardiology trainees answered all 20 questions and attempted to identify the source (AI or human) of each question. The AI also answered the same set of questions. We analyzed performance using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and recognition ability. Results: Trainees scored similarly on AI-generated and human-generated questions (median 8/10 vs 8/10; Conclusions: The AI-generated educational content was of comparable quality to that produced by human experts, and trainees could not reliably distinguish between the 2 sources. Our findings suggest that AI could significantly augment cardiology education by providing high-quality, scalable learning resources.
