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

purposeThis study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of generative pretrained transformer (GPT)-4o and GPT-4 in answering Taiwan's National Medical Licensing Examination (NMLE) ophthalmology questions from 2014 to 2023, focusing on both answer accuracy and explanation quality. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 169 ophthalmology questions from Taiwan's NMLE over the past decade were selected. GPT-4o and GPT-4 were tested on each question, and their performance was measured by correct answers and explanations. The results were categorized by ophthalmologic subspecialty and analyzed using statistical methods to determine significant differences between the two models.

resultsGPT-4o achieved a significantly higher overall correct answer rate (92.9%) compared to GPT-4 (69.2%) across all ophthalmology questions from 2014 to 2023 (

conclusionGPT-4o exhibited superior performance in both answering and explaining ophthalmology questions from Taiwan's NMLE compared to GPT-4. These results suggest that GPT-4o may be a more reliable tool for educational and diagnostic purposes in ophthalmology.
