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

BACKGROUND AND

aimArtificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots, such as Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT), have shown promising results in healthcare settings. These tools can help patients obtain real-time responses to queries, ensuring immediate access to relevant information. The study aimed to explore the potential use of ChatGPT-generated medical Arabic responses for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

methodsAn English patient questionnaire on MASLD was translated to Arabic. The Arabic questions were then entered into ChatGPT 3.5 on November 12, 2023. The responses were evaluated for accuracy, completeness, and comprehensibility by 10 Saudi MASLD experts who were native Arabic speakers. Likert scales were used to evaluate: 1) Accuracy, 2) Completeness, and 3) Comprehensibility. The questions were grouped into 3 domains: (1) Specialist referral, (2) Lifestyle, and (3) Physical activity.

resultsAccuracy mean score was 4.9 ± 0.94 on a 6-point Likert scale corresponding to "Nearly all correct." Kendall's coefficient of concordance (KCC) ranged from 0.025 to 0.649, with a mean of 0.28, indicating moderate agreement between all 10 experts. Mean completeness score was 2.4 ± 0.53 on a 3-point Likert scale corresponding to "Comprehensive" (KCC: 0.03-0.553; mean: 0.22). Comprehensibility mean score was 2.74 ± 0.52 on a 3-point Likert scale, which indicates the responses were "Easy to understand" (KCC: 0.00-0.447; mean: 0.25).

conclusionMASLD experts found that ChatGPT responses were accurate, complete, and comprehensible. The results support the increasing trend of leveraging the power of AI chatbots to revolutionize the dissemination of information for patients with MASLD. However, many AI-powered chatbots require further enhancement of scientific content to avoid the risks of circulating medical misinformation.
