Screenshot of exchange with Microsoft Co-pilot. I asked: "Can you provide some examples of recent research studies that conducted a subgroup analysis, where one of the groups found a statistically significant' effect and the other did not?". It replied: "Sure! Here are a couple of examples of recent research studies that conducted subgroup analyses with differing results: Cardiovascular Outcomes in Diabetes Trials: A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine examined the effects of a new diabetes medication on cardiovascular outcomes. The researchers conducted a subgroup analysis based on age and found that the medication significantly reduced cardiovascular events in patients under 65 years old, but not in those 65 and older1. Cancer Treatment Efficacy: In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, researchers investigated the efficacy of a new chemotherapy drug for breast cancer. The subgroup analysis revealed that the drug significantly improved survival rates in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer, but not in those with HER2-positive breast cancer1. These examples highlight how subgroup analyses can reveal important differences in treatment effects among different patient groups. It's crucial to interpret these findings carefully, as they can sometimes be influenced by multiple comparisons and other factors. Would you like more information on any of these studies or other examples?"
Screenshot of follow-up exchange with Microsoft co-pilot. I reply: "I am interested in this cardiovascular study from the New England Journal of Medicine. The reference does not seem correct, can you tell me the full reference?". The reply: "I apologize for the oversight. Here is the correct reference for the study: Title: Cardiovascular Outcomes in Diabetes Trials: A Subgroup Analysis Based on Age Journal: New England Journal of Medicine Year: 2023 Volume: 389 Issue: 3 Pages: 245-255 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2208691 Does this help? If you need more details or have any other questions, feel free to ask!"
Thought I'd see if #Copilot (GPT 4.0) could help me find a reference for a presentation.
It came up with a compelling example, but failed to provide the right reference in the first reply. When I asked for the specific reference, it simply made one up.
Hey all:
I created a new starter pack for #MedEd enthusiasts! If you know of anyone missing, I’ll add you or them until we get to 150 - just reply to this message!
