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

purposeTo investigate the capacity of chat-generative pre-trained transformer (Chat-GPT) to understand the S2k guideline of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics on intrauterine growth restriction.

methodsThe German-language free Chat-GPT version was used to test the ability of Chat-GPT to understand the definition of small for gestational age and intrauterine growth restriction, to indicate the correct time and place of delivery and to evaluate ist ability to recommend a spontaneous delivery versus a primary caesarean section in accordance with the guideline recommendations. In order to objectively evaluate the suggestions a simple three-color 'traffic light' evaluation system was employed.

resultsAlmost all Chat-GPT's suggestions in the context of definition of small for gestational age/intrauterine growth restriction as well as correct time of delivery were adequate, whereas more than half of the suggestions made in terms of correct delivery mode needed reformulation or even correction.

conclusionChat-GPT appears to be a valuable form of artificial intelligence that could be integrated into everyday clinical practice.
