Exploring the role of ChatGPT in clinical decision-making in otorhinolaryngology: a ChatGPT designed study.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeSince the beginning of 2023, ChatGPT emerged as a hot topic in healthcare research. The potential to be a valuable tool in clinical practice is compelling, particularly in improving clinical decision support by helping physicians to make clinical decisions based on the best medical knowledge available. We aim to investigate ChatGPT's ability to identify, diagnose and manage patients with otorhinolaryngology-related symptoms.
methodsA prospective, cross-sectional study was designed based on an idea suggested by ChatGPT to assess the level of agreement between ChatGPT and five otorhinolaryngologists (ENTs) in 20 reality-inspired clinical cases. The clinical cases were presented to the chatbot on two different occasions (ChatGPT-1 and ChatGPT-2) to assess its temporal stability.
resultsThe mean score of ChatGPT-1 was 4.4 (SD 1.2; min 1, max 5) and of ChatGPT-2 was 4.15 (SD 1.3; min 1, max 5), while the ENTs mean score was 4.91 (SD 0.3; min 3, max 5). The Mann-Whitney U test revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between both ChatGPT's and the ENTs's score. ChatGPT-1 and ChatGPT-2 gave different answers in five occasions.
conclusionsArtificial intelligence will be an important instrument in clinical decision-making in the near future and ChatGPT is the most promising chatbot so far. Despite needing further development to be used with safety, there is room for improvement and potential to aid otorhinolaryngology residents and specialists in making the most correct decision for the patient.
