Abstract Data extraction is a crucial, yet labor‐intensive and error‐prone part of evidence synthesis. To date, efforts to harness machine learning for enhancing efficiency the data process have fallen short achieving sufficient accuracy usability. With release large language models (LLMs), new possibilities emerged increase The objective this proof‐of‐concept study was assess performance an LLM (Claude 2) in extracting elements from published studies, compared with human as employed...

Over one-third of patients treated in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) are obese. VHA introduced MOVE! Weight Management Program for 2006 to provide comprehensive weight management services. An evolving, periodic evaluation using RE-AIM framework (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) has been conducted gauge success opportunities improvement. Key metrics were identified each dimension. Data compiled over fiscal years (FY) through 2010 from a variety...

Understanding the factors that facilitate implementation of behavioral medicine programs into practice can advance translational science. Often, translation or studies use case study methods with small sample sizes. Methodological approaches systematize findings from these types are needed to improve rigor and field. Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a method analytical approach QCA offers an for rigorously conducting research limited by number cases. We describe methodological...

This paper is part of a series methodological guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group. reviews (RRs) use modified systematic review methods to accelerate process while maintaining systematic, transparent and reproducible methods. addresses considerations for rating certainty evidence (COE) in RRs. We recommend full implementation GRADE (Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluation) RRs if time resources allow. If or other do not permit GRADE, following...

Abstract Accurate data extraction is a key component of evidence synthesis and critical to valid results. The advent publicly available large language models (LLMs) has generated interest in these tools for created uncertainty about the choice LLM. We compare performance two widely LLMs (Claude 2 GPT‐4) extracting pre‐specified elements from 10 published articles included previously completed systematic review. use prompts full study PDFs outputs browser versions Claude GPT‐4. GPT‐4 required...
