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

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT have emerged as accessible and scalable platforms for generating dietary advice. While ChatGPT has demonstrated potential in providing general nutritional guidance, its capacity to create diet plans tailored to different weight categories and physical activity levels remains underexplored, particularly in comparison across popular dietary (ketogenic and intermittent fasting) models. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional adequacy and variability of diet plans generated by ChatGPT-4o for weight management. ChatGPT-4o generated diet plans for 18 individuals (9 males, 9 females) representing overweight, class I, and class II obesity at varying physical activity levels. Fifty-four menus were created across three dietary models and analyzed for energy, macro-, and micronutrient content using the BeBiS nutritional analysis software. Diet variability was also assessed through repeated prompts over three different periods. The ketogenic diets produced by AI had significantly higher energy and saturated fat contents than other models (
