The Role of ChatGPT in Reducing Preoperative Anxiety in Patients Planning to Undergo Rhinoplasty.
Trial report in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study investigates the impact of an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot (ChatGPT-3.5, OpenAI) on preoperative anxiety among patients planning rhinoplasty.
designIn this single-blind, randomized controlled, prospective study, 134 patients were divided into control (n = 66) and study groups (n = 68). The control group read the rhinoplasty patient information document from the Turkish Society of Facial Plastic Surgery, while the study group interacted with ChatGPT, discussing their surgical concerns. Anxiety scores were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after the interventions.
resultsInitial State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) scores showed no significant difference between the groups, with medians of 36 (min-max: 21-60) for the control group and 39 (min-max: 21-58) for the study group (p = 0.573). Post-intervention, the control group showed a significant reduction in SAI scores to a median of 31 (min-max: 21-55; p < 0.001), with a more pronounced decrease in the ChatGPT group to a median of 28 (min-max: 20-53; p < 0.001). The median change in SAI scores was significantly greater in the ChatGPT group (- 6.0; min-max: - 24-6) compared to the control group (-4; min-max: - 16-8; p = 0.035).
conclusionBoth traditional patient information and interaction with ChatGPT reduced preoperative anxiety in rhinoplasty patients, with ChatGPT proving more effective. Despite promising results, the limitation lies in the non-optimized nature of generic AI chatbots for specific medical uses, suggesting a potential for more specialized AI platforms in healthcare.
