💡 When writing abstracts, PLEASE include as much detailed information as possible, so that researchers (and practitioners/policymakers) can more easily determine whether your study is relevant for inclusion!!

The one study included on full text that ChatGPT didn't include at T&A was because the abstract only included part of the information needed - instead of including explicit details about the intervention, comparison groups and outcomes, it included a few flowery sentences about potential.

2/

- 2 items were excluded by #ChatGPT that were included at T&A (one because no abstract could be located);
- 11 items were excluded at T&A that humans excluded at FT;
- 10 items were included that were excluded by human screeners; and
- Of those included at full text, it included 5 out of 6.

An image of two coding tools in EPPI Reviewer showing human screening on title and abstract in a review compared to ChatGPT screening on title and abstract. They agree.

1/💡 TLDR: Detailed abstracts are more vital than ever for visibility! 🙏
