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: Large language model (LLM)-based chatbots, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, have become widely used sources of medical information. No study has assessed the performance of LLM chatbots in providing clinically reliable information on high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy and relevance of different LLM chatbots in responding to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about HTO. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 35 FAQs about HTO were curated from online sources and categorized into 6 categories: general/procedure related, indications for surgery and outcomes, risks and complications of surgery, pain and postoperative recovery, specific activities after surgery, and alternatives to and variations of HTO. These questions were used as input to 5 different LLM chatbots: ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4 Omni, Gemini Advanced and Gemini 1.5. Responses were collected from July 12 to 14, 2024 (ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4 Omni, and Gemini Advanced) and on September 26, 2024 (Gemini 1.5). Two independent orthopaedic surgeons assessed the responses using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very incorrect/very irrelevant, 5 = very accurate/very relevant). Responses were anonymized to blind evaluators to chatbot identities. Differences in accuracy among chatbots were assessed using analysis of variance, and differences in relevance using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: LLM chatbots demonstrated the following mean accuracy scores: GPT-3.5 (4.66 ± 0.64), GPT-4 (4.66 ± 0.54), GPT-4 Omni (4.94 ± 0.24), and Gemini 1.5 (4.86 ± 0.36), while Gemini Advanced showed significantly lower scores (3.83 ± 1.40) ( Conclusion: This study showed that ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4 Omni, and Gemini 1.5 provided accurate and relevant responses on HTO, whereas Gemini Advanced exhibited limitations and underperformed in comparison with the other models.
