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.

Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) show promise in emergency medicine; however, their role in emergency neurology remains unclear. We developed a customized LLM, Xuanwu-NeuroAid, and prospectively enrolled 433 patients. The diagnostic outputs of the model and emergency physicians were compared with confirmed diagnoses, and an expert panel performed blinded evaluations of the recommendations generated by both the model and physicians. The independent diagnostic accuracy of the model was 79.4%, which was significantly higher than that of emergency physicians (65.4%, p < 0.001). Blinded expert assessments indicated that the model's recommendations for examinations and treatments were significantly more comprehensive, accurate, and clinically applicable than those of physicians (p < 0.001). Moreover, the inclusion of demographic information altered the model's recommendations for health education, suggesting a sensitivity to sociodemographic factors. Our findings highlight the potential of the LLM to enhance diagnostic precision and support decision-making in emergency neurology under simulated clinical conditions. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06779292; January 6, 2025).
