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

Background: Patients frequently seek dental information online, and generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) may be a valuable resource. However, the quality of responses based on varying prompt designs has not been evaluated. As dental implant treatment is widely performed, this study aimed to investigate the influence of prompt design on GPT performance in answering commonly asked questions related to dental implants. Materials and methods: Thirty commonly asked questions about implant dentistry - covering patient selection, associated risks, peri-implant disease symptoms, treatment for missing teeth, prevention, and prognosis - were posed to four different GPT models with different prompt designs. Responses were recorded and independently appraised by two periodontists across six quality domains. Results: All models performed well, with responses classified as good quality. The contextualized model performed worse on treatment-related questions (21.5 ± 3.4, Conclusion: GPTs can provide accurate, complete, and useful information for questions related to dental implants. While prompt designs can enhance response quality, further refinement is necessary to optimize its performance.
