Is ChatGPT an Accurate and Reliable Source of Information for Patients with Vaccine and Statin Hesitancy?
Article in Medeniyet medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an artificial intelligence (AI) language model that is trained to respond to questions across a wide range of topics. Our aim is to elucidate whether it would be beneficial for patients who are hesitant about vaccines and statins to use ChatGPT. Methods: This cross-sectional and observational study was conducted from March 2 to March 30, 2023, using OpenAI ChatGPT-3.5. ChatGPT provided responses to 7 questions related to vaccine and statin hesitancy. The same questions were also directed at physicians. Both the answers from ChatGPT and the physicians were assessed for accuracy, clarity, and conciseness by experts in cardiology, internal medicine, and microbiology, who possessed a minimum of 30 years of professional experience. Responses were rated on a scale of 0-4, and the ChatGPT's average score was compared with that of physicians using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The mean scores of ChatGPT (3.78±0.36) and physicians (3.65±0.57) were similar (Mann-Whitney U test p=0.33). The mean scores of ChatGPT were 3.85±0.34 for vaccination and 3.68±0.35 for statin use. The mean scores of physicians were 3.73±0.51 for vaccination and 3.58±0.61 for statin use. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of ChatGPT and physicians for both vaccine and statin use (p=0.403 for vaccination, p=0.678 for statin). ChatGPT did not consider sources of conspiratorial information on vaccines and statins. Conclusions: This study suggests that ChatGPT can be a valuable source of information for guiding patients with vaccine and statin hesitancy.
