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

Preoperative differentiation of preinvasive lesions, minimally invasive adenocarcinomas, and invasive adenocarcinomas within pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) is challenging. Herein, this study investigated the potential of vision-language models to assist radiologists in noninvasively predicting pGGN invasiveness on CT scans. This retrospective multicenter study enrolled 848 patients with pathologically-confirmed lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as pGGNs. GPT-4o was tasked with localizing pGGNs on CT scans to detect ten pGGN invasiveness-associated features to generate a diagnosis and was compared with Molmo. The twenty-shot GPT-4o model demonstrated superior performance in the ternary classification of pGGN invasiveness (Delong test, P < 0.01). Six radiologists' assessments revealed that GPT-4o output showed high reliability, willingness to use, reliance, low risk of harm, inappropriate content, and missing content. With GPT-4o assistance, another six radiologists achieved an average improvement in pGGN invasiveness diagnosis. The twenty-shot-based GPT-4o model exhibited superior diagnostic capability for pGGN invasiveness in lung adenocarcinoma, achieving significantly improved diagnostic accuracy by radiologists.
