Critical Appraisal
Introduction
This critical review assesses the comments ChatGPT provided when reviewing a
systematic review protocol. This assessment analyzes both the correctness and positive aspects
along with drawbacks of the provided feedback while offering ways to enhance it. High-quality
evidence synthesis in healthcare research heavily depends on successful protocol evaluations
because systematic review protocols establish the base foundation of research [1]. The
assessment uses a tabulated approach to evaluate all feedback sections before providing an
assessment of the whole process and targeted recommendations.
