Why this version exists

Editorial pass: sharper headline; gain/problem restated as concrete outcomes.

The exact text we saved

This is the version exactly as it was saved, character for character. The SHA-256 hash below is a 64-character code worked out from that text. Run the same text through SHA-256 and you get the same code; change a single letter and the code comes out completely different. Each version also stores the previous version’s hash, which chains them together so no version can be swapped out quietly.

headline: Image-Based Diagnosis of Oral Lesions: Performance of a Vision-Language Model versus Human Clinicians
dek: Objective To evaluate the real-world diagnostic performance of a multimodal large language model (LLM) for image-based assessment of oral mucosal lesions compared with clinicians of varying expertise. Study design Prospective international multicenter diagnostic accuracy study. Setting Twenty university and tertiary head and neck centers in Italy, Belgium, France, Spain, and Israel. Methods We enrolled 350 consecutive patients (320 with oral lesions, 30 with normal mucosa). Clinical photographs and basic epidemi…

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1166 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
