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

Background: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by employees at university hospitals for information retrieval or decision support. Self-hosted on-premise systems provide a secure environment and conform to data privacy and security regulations for handling sensitive personal data. Automation of standard procedures using an LLM application can substantially reduce time-consuming administrative tasks and facilitate the analysis of large datasets. Objective: The objective of our study was to gather feedback from registered artificial intelligence (AI) users on the usability and common use cases of the on-premise LLM infrastructure we established at the University Medicine Magdeburg to optimize the models to the needs of our facility. Methods: We developed an online questionnaire to which registered AI users were given access and were informed via email. Results: Of 322 registered AI users, 98 (30.4%) participated in the user survey. After filtering incomplete responses, results from 91 (28.3%) participants remained for further analysis. Speed and quality received overall high approval rates. Most of the users (n=57, 62.6%) used the platform at least once per week, and 44% (n=40) of the users reported saving at least 30 minutes of work per week by using our AI platform. A diverse set of use cases was observed, varying by profession; for example, health care and research professionals used the AI platform more frequently for creation and analysis tasks than administrative staff. Conclusions: Our data indicate that the implementation of a self-hosted on-premise LLM was associated with positive perceptions among a diverse group of professionals working at a university hospital, saving time and meeting their individual needs.
