Evaluating the performance of ChatGPT in answering questions related to urolithiasis.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) program with natural language processing. We analyzed ChatGPT's knowledge about urolithiasis whether it can be used to inform patients about urolithiasis.
methodsFrequently asked questions (FAQs) about urolithiasis on the websites of urological associations and hospitals were analyzed. Also, strong recommendation-level information was gathered from the urolithiasis section of the European Association of Urology (EAU) 2022 Guidelines. All questions were asked in order in ChatGPT August 3rd version. All answers were evaluated separately by two specialist urologists and scored between 1 and 4, where 1: completely correct, 2: correct but inadequate, 3: a mix of correct and misleading information, and 4: completely incorrect.
resultsOf the FAQs, 94.6% were answered completely correctly. No question was answered completely incorrectly. All questions about general, diagnosis, and ureteral stones were graded as 1. Of the 60 questions prepared according to the EAU guideline recommendations, 50 (83.3%) were evaluated as grade 1, and 8 (13.3%) and 2 (3.3%) as grade 3. All questions related to general, diagnostic, renal calculi, ureteral calculi, and metabolic evaluation received the same answer the second time they were asked.
conclusionOur findings demonstrated that ChatGPT accurately and satisfactorily answered more than 95% of the questions about urolithiasis. We conclude that applying ChatGPT in urology clinics under the supervision of urologists can help patients and their families to have better understanding on urolithiasis diagnosis and treatment.
