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

Large language models (LLMs) have gained traction in medicine, but there is limited research comparing closed- and open-source models in subspecialty contexts. This study evaluated ChatGPT-4.0o and DeepSeek-R1 on a pediatric cardiology board-style examination to quantify their accuracy and discuss educational and clinical utility. ChatGPT-4.0o and DeepSeek-R1 were used to answer 88 text-based multiple choice questions across 11 pediatric cardiology subtopics from a Pediatric Cardiology Board Review textbook. DeepSeek-R1's processing time per question was measured. ChatGPT-4.0o and DeepSeek-R1 achieved 70% (62/88) and 68% (60/88) accuracy, respectively (
