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

This study systematically evaluated the performance of three advanced large language models (LLMs)-GPT-4.0, ERNIE Bot 4.0, and GPT-4o-in the 2023 Chinese Medical Licensing Examination. Employing a dataset of 600 standardized questions, we analyzed the accuracy of each model in answering questions from three comprehensive sections: Basic Medical Comprehensive, Clinical Medical Comprehensive, and Humanities and Preventive Medicine Comprehensive. Our results demonstrate that both ERNIE Bot 4.0 and GPT-4o significantly outperformed GPT-4.0, achieving accuracies above the national pass mark. The study further examined the strengths and limitations of each model, providing insights into their applicability in medical education and potential areas for future improvement. These findings underscore the promise and challenges of deploying LLMs in multilingual medical education, suggesting a pathway towards integrating AI into medical training and assessment practices.
