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

The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems remains a cornerstone of food safety management. However, their effectiveness is influenced by organizational, human, and technological factors. This study investigates professional perceptions of HACCP implementation and explores the extent to which a large language model (LLM)-ChatGPT 4.1-can approximate human judgments in this domain. A structured questionnaire was administered to 90 professionals operating in food service, hospitality, industry, and consultancy. Responses were compared with outputs generated by ChatGPT 4.1 via a standardized multi-persona prompting protocol simulating five professional roles. To enhance response stability and minimize stochastic variation, each question was submitted in independent zero-shot sessions over multiple iterations. Responses were analysed across three thematic dimensions: barriers to HACCP implementation, perceived benefits, and digital readiness. Spearman correlation analysis of human responses revealed a systemic "training-turnover association," where high staff turnover (r = 0.62,
