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

Introduction: To assess the performance of the GPT-4O model in determining the indications for emergency ultrasound and to explore its potential for optimizing medical resource allocation. Methods: This single-center retrospective observational study included 200 patients who underwent emergency ultrasound at the emergency department. Senior clinicians assessed the indications for ultrasound based on guidelines, which served as the gold standard. The medical records were input into the GPT-4O model, which generated binary classification results. The model's performance was analyzed using confusion matrices and ROC curves. Results: The GPT-4O model achieved perfect sensitivity and NPV (1.00), with specificity and PPV of 0.86, and an AUC of 0.93. The model accurately identified 92 emergency cases and 93 non-emergency cases, with only 15 non-emergency cases misclassified as emergency cases. Conclusion: The GPT-4O model showed excellent performance in determining the indications for emergency ultrasound, particularly in terms of sensitivity and negative predictive value. It has the potential to reduce unnecessary examinations and optimize the allocation of medical resources.
