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
Background: Despite growing interest, empirical studies on ChatGPT-4o's clinical role in child and adolescent mental health remain scarce. This study explored child and adolescent mental health professionals' attitudes toward ChatGPT-4o, focusing on its clinical applications, ethical implications, and integration challenges. Methods: A sequential exploratory design was used, beginning with interviews to inform item generation. Finalized surveys were distributed online to 96 child and adolescent psychiatrists and 70 psychologists between April and May 2025. The instrument measured views across seven subscales and demonstrated strong internal consistency (α = 0.887 for child and adolescent psychiatrists; α = 0.903 for psychologists). Results: Overall, 47.9% of psychiatrists and 40% of psychologists reported prior use of ChatGPT-4o. Child and adolescent psychiatrists rated "Clinician-Facing Tool" and "Acting as a Therapist" most favorably, while psychologists expressed the most positive views toward "Bias" and "Profession". Both groups viewed "Ethical Issues" least favorably. Comparative analyses revealed that psychiatrists scored significantly higher than psychologists on the profession ( Conclusion: Mental health professionals show cautious optimism toward ChatGPT-4o, with discipline-specific emphases. While a measured interest in ChatGPT-4o's clinical integration, shared concerns around ethics highlight the need for role-specific guidelines and human oversight.
