Background: In reconstructive plastic surgery, the need for comprehensive research and systematic reviews is apparent due to the field's intricacies, influencing the evidence supporting specific procedures. Although Chat-GPT's knowledge is limited to September 2021, its integration into research proves valuable for efficiently identifying knowledge gaps. Therefore, this tool becomes a potent asset, directing researchers to focus on conducting systematic reviews where they are most necessary.

We investigated whether implementation of a multifaceted intervention was associated with reduced incidence of CLABSIs.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study over nine years.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the early stopping of clinical trials in ophthalmology, focusing on various trial characteristics.
- Researchers identified 2,280 relevant trials from a larger pool, noting that 142 were discontinued during the pandemic period, with 34 specifically due to COVID-19.
- The analysis revealed that trials canceled because of the pandemic were predominantly sponsored by academic medical centers and were often not in specific investigational phases, suggesting certain trends in trial management during the crisis.
Maydis leaf blight (MLB) of maize (), a serious fungal disease, is capable of causing up to 70% damage to the crop under severe conditions. Severity of diseases is considered as one of the important factors for proper crop management and overall crop yield. Therefore, it is quite essential to identify the disease at the earliest possible stage to overcome the yield loss.

Despite extensive study on financial conflicts of interest (FCOI) influencing medical research, little is known about the function of conflicts of interest on social media and the influence they may have. In this study, we sought to evaluate the FCOI of physicians followed on Twitter by the top three neurosurgical journals.
