Can ChatGPT be the Plastic Surgeon's New Digital Assistant? A Bibliometric Analysis and Scoping Review of ChatGPT in Plastic Surgery Literature.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that uses natural language processing (NLP) to interact in a humanlike manner, has made significant contributions to various healthcare fields, including plastic surgery. However, its widespread use has raised ethical and security concerns. This study examines the presence of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, in the literature of plastic surgery.
methodsA bibliometric analysis and scoping review of the ChatGPT plastic surgery literature were performed. PubMed was queried using the search term "ChatGPT" to identify all biomedical literature on ChatGPT, with only studies related to plastic, reconstructive, or aesthetic surgery topics being considered eligible for inclusion.
resultsThe analysis included 30 out of 724 articles retrieved from PubMed, focusing on publications from December 2022 to July 2023. Four key areas of research emerged: applications in research/creation of original work, clinical application, surgical education, and ethics/commentary on previous studies. The versatility of ChatGPT in research, its potential in surgical education, and its role in enhancing patient education were explored. Ethical concerns regarding patient privacy, plagiarism, and the accuracy of information obtained from ChatGPT-generated sources were also highlighted.
conclusionWhile ethical concerns persist, the study underscores the potential of ChatGPT in plastic surgery research and practice, emphasizing the need for careful utilization and collaboration to optimize its benefits while minimizing risks. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
