Artificial Intelligence to Automate Network Meta-Analyses: Four Case Studies to Evaluate the Potential Application of Large Language Models.

This study provides a promising indication of the feasibility of using current generation LLMs to automate data extraction, code generation and NMA result interpretation, which could result in significant time savings and reduce human error. This is provided that routine technical checks are performed, as recommend for human-conducted analyses. Whilst not currently 100% consistent, LLMs are likely to improve with time.
