Utilizing ChatGPT to Streamline the Generation of Prior Authorization Letters and Enhance Clerical Workflow in Orthopedic Surgery Practice: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Prior authorization is a cumbersome process that requires clinicians to create an individualized letter that includes detailed information about the patient's medical condition, proposed treatment plan, and any supplemental information required to obtain approval from a patient's insurance company before any services or procedures may be provided to the patient. However, drafting authorization letters is time-consuming clerical work that not only places an increased administrative burden on orthopedic surgeons and office staff but also concurrently takes time away from patient care. Therefore, there is a need to improve this process by streamlining workflows for healthcare providers in order to prioritize direct patient care. In this report, we present a case utilizing OpenAI's ChatGPT (OpenAI, L.L.C., San Francisco, CA, USA) to draft a prior authorization request letter for the use of matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation to treat a cartilage injury of the knee.
