ChatGPT: the essential patient's companion for transesophageal echocardiogram education.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTransesophageal echocardiography (TOE) necessitates meticulous patient preparation. Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, such as ChatGPT, hold promise in delivering medical information. This study sought to assess the suitability of the latest iteration, ChatGPT-4 Omni (GPT-4o), as a supplemental resource for providing information on topics related to TOE.
methodsFifty questions pertaining to patient education, covering both fundamental knowledge (25) and management aspects (25) of TOE results, were submitted to GPT-4o in three separate sessions. Three senior echocardiographers systematically evaluated the responses using a four-point scale, focusing on their appropriateness, clarity, and consistency. Additionally, they assessed confabulations and the omission of relevant content on a binary scale.
resultsOverall, 94% of GPT-4o's responses were rated as "highly appropriate" across 50 tasks, with 98% deemed "highly comprehensible". Responses related to basic knowledge were 96% appropriate and 100% comprehensible, while management-related responses were 92% appropriate and 96% comprehensible. In total, two responses (4%) were rated negatively as quite inappropriate. Minor inconsistencies were observed in 12% of regenerated responses, with relevant content missing in 6% of inquiries.
conclusionsGPT-4o demonstrated high accuracy and reliability in addressing patient inquiries related to TOE. These findings suggest that this AI platform could effectively supplement patient education and complement healthcare professionals' guidance, thereby reducing the workload of echocardiography lab staff.
