1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The primary focus of this study was to analyze the adoption of ChatGPT among Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) trainees, encompassing its role in scientific research and personal study. We examined in which year ENT trainees become involved in clinical research and how many scientific investigations they have been engaged in. Methods: An online survey was distributed to ENT residents employed in Italian University Hospitals. Results: Out of 609 Italian ENT trainees, 181 (29.7%) responded to the survey. Among these, 67.4% were familiar with ChatGPT, and 18.9% of them used artificial intelligence as a tool for research and study. In all, 32.6% were not familiar with ChatGPT and its functions. Within our sample, there was an increasing trend of participation by ENT trainees in scientific publications throughout their training. Conclusions: ChatGPT remains relatively unfamiliar and underutilised in Italy, even though it could be a valuable and efficient tool for ENT trainees, providing quick access for study and research through both personal computers and smartphones.
