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

Recent systematic reviews have raised concerns about the quality of reporting in studies evaluating the accuracy of large language models (LLMs) in medical applications. Incomplete and inconsistent reporting hampers the ability of reviewers and readers to assess study methodology, interpret results, and evaluate reproducibility. To address this issue, the MInimum reporting items for CLear Evaluation of Accuracy Reports of Large Language Models in healthcare (MI-CLEAR-LLM) checklist was developed. This article presents an extensively updated version. While the original version focused on proprietary LLMs accessed via web-based chatbot interfaces, the updated checklist incorporates considerations relevant to application programming interfaces and self-managed models, typically based on open-source LLMs. As before, the revised MI-CLEAR-LLM focuses on reporting practices specific to LLM accuracy evaluations: specifically, the reporting of how LLMs are specified, accessed, adapted, and applied in testing, with special attention to methodological factors that influence outputs. The checklist includes essential items across categories such as model identification, access mode, input data type, adaptation strategy, prompt optimization, prompt execution, stochasticity management, and test data independence. This article also presents reporting examples from the literature. Adoption of the updated MI-CLEAR-LLM can help ensure transparency in reporting and enable more accurate and meaningful evaluation of studies.
