ChatGPT-4o-Generated Exercise Plans for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus-Assessment of Their Safety and Other Quality Criteria by Coaching Experts.
Article in Sports (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this discussion paper based on preliminary data, the safety and other quality criteria of ChatGPT-4o-generated exercise plans for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are evaluated. The study team created three fictional patient profiles varying in sex, age, body mass index, secondary diseases/complications, medication, self-rated physical fitness, weekly exercise routine and personal exercise preferences. Three distinct prompts were used to generate three exercise plans for each fictional patient. While Prompt 1 was very simple, Prompt 2 and Prompt 3 included more detailed requests. Prompt 3 was optimized by ChatGPT itself. Three coaching experts reviewed the exercise plans for safety and other quality criteria and discussed their evaluations. Some of the exercise plans showed serious safety issues, especially for patients with secondary diseases/complications. While most exercise plans incorporated key training principles, they showed some deficits, e.g., insufficient feasibility. The use of more detailed prompts (Prompt 2 and Prompt 3) tended to result in more elaborate exercise plans with better ratings. ChatGPT-4o-generated exercise plans may have safety issues for patients with T2DM, indicating the need to consult a professional coach for feedback before starting a training program.
