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 and study aims: Current general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) demonstrate limited efficacy in clinical medicine, often constrained to question-answering, documentation, and literature summarization roles. We developed GastroGPT, a proof-of-concept specialty-specific, multi-task, clinical LLM, and evaluated its performance against leading general-purpose LLMs across key gastroenterology tasks and diverse case scenarios. Methods: In this structured analysis, GastroGPT was compared with three state-of-the-art general-purpose LLMs (LLM-A: GPT-4, LLM-B: Bard, LLM-C: Claude). Models were assessed on seven clinical tasks and overall performance across 10 simulated gastroenterology cases varying in complexity, frequency, and patient demographics. Standardized prompts facilitated structured comparisons. A blinded expert panel rated model outputs per task on a 10-point Likert scale, judging clinical utility. Comprehensive statistical analyses were conducted. Results: A total of 2,240 expert ratings were obtained. GastroGPT achieved significantly higher mean overall scores (8.1 ± 1.8) compared with GPT-4 (5.2 ± 3.0), Bard (5.7 ± 3.3), and Claude (7.0 ± 2.7) (all Conclusions: This study pioneered development and comparison of a specialty-specific, clinically-oriented AI model to general-purpose LLMs. GastroGPT demonstrated superior utility overall and on key gastroenterology tasks, highlighting the potential for tailored, task-focused AI models in medicine.
