1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We aimed to evaluate current trends and future directions in the field of AI research since ChatGPT was launched. We performed a bibliometric analysis of the literature published during the first 7 months of the life of ChatGPT since its introduction, updated to July 1st, 2023. Seven hundred and twenty-four (724) articles were retrieved. This analysis highlights a significant increase in publications exploring ChatGPT use across various medical disciplines, indicating its expanding relevance in healthcare. A decline proportion of studies focusing on ethical considerations was observed. Simultaneously, there was a steady increase in studies focused on the exploration of possible applications of ChatGPT. As ChatGPT applications continue to expand, ongoing vigilance and collaborative efforts to optimize ChatGPT performance are essential in harnessing the benefits while mitigating the risks of AI use in healthcare.
