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/aim: This study evaluated the accuracy rates and response consistency of four different large language models (ChatGPT-4o, Gemini 2.0, Claude 3.5, and DeepSeek R1) in answering questions from the Emergency Medicine Fellowship Examination (YDUS), which was administered for the first time in Türkiye. Materials and methods: In this observational study, 60 multiple-choice questions from the Emergency Medicine YDUS administered on 15 December 2024, were classified as knowledge-based (n = 26), visual content (n = 2), and case-based (n = 32). Each question was presented three times to the four large language models. The models' accuracy rates were evaluated according to overall accuracy, strict accuracy, and ideal accuracy criteria. Response consistency was measured using Fleiss' Kappa test. Results: The ChatGPT-4o model was the most successful in terms of overall accuracy (90.0%), while DeepSeek R1 showed the lowest performance (76.7%). Claude 3.5 (83.3%) and Gemini 2.0 (80.0%) demonstrated moderate success. When analyzed by category, ChatGPT-4o achieved the highest success with 92.3% accuracy in knowledge-based questions and 90.6% in case-based questions. In terms of response consistency, the Claude 3.5 model (Fleiss' Kappa = 0.68) showed the highest consistency, while Gemini 2.0 (Fleiss' Kappa = 0.49) showed the lowest. Inconsistent hallucinations were more frequent in the Gemini 2.0 and DeepSeek R1 models, whereas persistent hallucinations were less common in the ChatGPT-4o and Claude 3.5 models. Conclusion: Large language models can achieve high accuracy rates for knowledge and clinical reasoning questions in emergency medicine but show differences in terms of response consistency and hallucination tendency. While these models have significant potential for use in medical education and as clinical decision support systems (CDSS), they need further development to provide reliable, up-to-date, and accurate information.
