Generative Artificial Intelligence Accuracy in Interpreting Forest Plots in Pediatric Surgery Meta-analyses: A Perspective From Pediatric Surgery Meta-analysis Study Group (PESMA)

Pediatric surgery is a relatively newer specialty compared to fields such as orthopedics, internal medicine, and pediatrics. The number of pediatric surgeons worldwide is significantly lower than in many other medical disciplines. Consequently, this has resulted in a lower cumulative volume of academic research in pediatric surgery, including a smaller number of meta-analyses. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of meta-analyses within this field and dedicated pediatric surgery meta-analysis study groups such as PESMA have emerged.
