ChatGPT Versus DeepSeek in Resectability Categorization of Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Comparison Based on EPOS 2020.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Objective: To evaluate and compare the performance of ChatGPT-5.5 (2026) and DeepSeek-V3 (2026) in classifying CRS resectability according to the EPOS 2020 guidelines, employing various prompting strategies. Methods: In this retrospective study, 150 chronic rhinosinusitis cases were reviewed, and three rhinology experts classified resectability according to the EPOS 2020 criteria. GPT-5.5 and DeepSeek-V3 were evaluated using default-knowledge, in-context, and chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and F1 score. Prespecified subgroup analyses were conducted according to nasal polyp status and surgical eligibility to assess the consistency of prompting-strategy effects. ENT resident performance was compared with and without AI assistance. Statistical analyses included chi-square or Fisher's exact, Student's Results: DeepSeek-V3 achieved higher accuracy than GPT-5.5 under default-knowledge (81.3% vs. 72.7%, Conclusions: ChatGPT-5.5 and DeepSeek-V3, when using the CoT prompting strategy, achieved similarly high accuracy in resectability categorization. While AI-generated reports improved surgeons' accuracy and efficiency, these models should be further validated as support tools before widespread clinical implementation.
