Revolutionizing Neurosurgery with GPT-4: A Leap Forward or Ethical Conundrum?
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Neurosurgery, a highly specialized and sophisticated branch of medicine, is devoted to the surgical intervention of maladies impacting both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The intricate nature and meticulous precision demanded by neurosurgery has piqued the interest of artificial intelligence experts. In our comprehensive analysis, we encapsulate the prospective applications of the revolutionary GPT-4 technology within the sphere of neurosurgery, encompassing areas such as preoperative evaluation and preparation, tailored surgical simulations, postoperative care and rehabilitation, enriched patient communication, fostering collaboration and knowledge dissemination, as well as training and education. Furthermore, we plunge into the complex and intellectually stimulating conundrums that arise when integrating the cutting-edge GPT-4 technology into neurosurgery, taking into account the moral considerations and substantial hurdles intrinsic to its adoption. Our stance is that GPT-4 will not supplant neurosurgeons; on the contrary, it possesses the potential to serve as an invaluable instrument in augmenting the precision and effectiveness of neurosurgical procedures, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and propelling the field forward.
