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 /purpose: Large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in answering professional examination questions. This study evaluated the performance of ChatGPT-4, Gemini, and DeepSeek-V3 in answering English-translated questions from the 2023 Taiwan National Dental Technician Licensing Examination (TNDTLE) over a three-week period. Materials and methods: A total of 194 English-translated, text-based multiple-choice questions were selected from the 2023 TNDTLE. ChatGPT-4, Gemini, and DeepSeek-V3 were used to answer the same set of English-translated questions at four time points: baseline and one-, two-, and three-week follow-ups. Accuracy rates (ARs) were calculated and compared to evaluate changes over time and differences among the three LLMs, between basic and clinical subjects, and between English-translated and original Chinese-language questions. Results: The baseline ARs were 69.1% for ChatGPT-4, 75.8% for Gemini, and 69.6% for DeepSeek- V3. Among the three LLMs, only ChatGPT-4 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement at the three-week follow-up ( Conclusion: ChatGPT-4, Gemini, and DeepSeek-V3 demonstrate moderate capability in answering dental technician examination questions but generally show no significant improvement over a three-week period. Translating Chinese-language questions into English may improve the performance of ChatGPT-4 and Gemini.
