Human-LLM disagreement improves research quality appraisal checklists

Researchers have explored how disagreements between humans and large language models (LLMs) can be leveraged to enhance the quality appraisal of research studies. By analyzing the discrepancies in checklist-based assessments, particularly with the Guidelines for Reporting on Latent Trajectory Studies (GRoLTS) checklist, they identified ambiguous or conditional criteria that led to significant disagreement. Revising these problematic items improved both the accuracy and the relative ranking of study assessments, suggesting that LLM-assisted appraisal effectiveness is closely tied to the design of the appraisal checklists themselves.

    Using Human-LLM Disagreement to Improve Checklist-Based Quality Appraisal

    arXiv:2608.20385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Systematic reviews rely on quality appraisal of included studies, a process that is time-consuming and sensitive to ambiguity in checklist criteria. Although large language models (LLMs) offer opportunities to support these tasks, a…
