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

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can automatically analyze clinical video, but evidence from full esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and the impact of on-screen computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) overlays on MLLM behavior remain unclear. We tested whether an MLLM can produce clinically adequate EGD reports and whether a CAD overlay changes performance. We analyzed five complete EGD videos with Gemini 2.5 Pro in paired versions: (1) clean video and (2) the same video with a CAD overlay. Five blinded endoscopists rated report adequacy in three domains. MLLM accuracy for landmarks/lesions was further assessed by two blinded expert endoscopists using the time-window rule (a model detection counted as correct if it occurred within ±2 s of the expert-annotated timestamp). In this retrospective pilot study, five archived diagnostic EGD procedures from five patients were available as full-length videos. Across five raters, MLLM Completeness was judged adequate in 56.0% (14/25 ratings) with Clean-Video versus 48.0% (12/25 ratings) with Overlay-Video (p = 0.500). Visualization was identical (36.0% [9/25 ratings] for both; p = 1.000). Lesions characteristics were identical (16.0% [4/25] for both; p = 1.00). For the Landmark agreement, the overall accuracy of the MLLM with Clean-Video vs. Overlay-Video was: 0.55 [95% CI 0.43-0.67] vs. 0.33 [0.23-0.46], p = 0.029; sensitivity 0.53 [0.40-0.66] vs. 0.35 [0.24-0.49], p = 0.122; specificity 0.67 [0.35-0.88] vs. 0.22 [0.06-0.55], p = 0.125. In this pilot study, Gemini 2.5 Pro demonstrated inadequate performance for clinical EGD reporting. These hypothesis-generating findings suggest substantial optimization and larger-scale validation are required before deployment.
