Can generative AI-enabled ChatGPT or large language models (LLMs) assist orthopedic surgeons?
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The incorporation of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, like ChatGPT, into orthopedic surgery, has generated considerable interest among medical professionals. This paper provides an overview of the latest research on using ChatGPT in orthopedics. It explores the potential applications, advantages, obstacles, and ethical concerns of implementing this technology. Based on various studies, this paper delves into how ChatGPT contributes to patient communication, treatment planning, surgical outcomes, and diagnostic processes in orthopedic care. Although there is great potential for the technology to transform orthopedic practice, there are ongoing concerns about data security, ethical considerations, and the reliability of self-diagnosis tools. Effective collaboration among stakeholders, thorough validation procedures, and continuous research efforts are crucial in unlocking the complete potential of AI in orthopedic surgery while minimizing any risks involved. Despite the obstacles, the growing use of ChatGPT and other AI technologies in orthopedics indicates a significant change in healthcare delivery.
