Getting ChatGPT to effectively summarize complex medical research can be tricky, especially when it comes to clinical trials for conditions like cystic fibrosis. The key is providing the AI with clear parameters about what information to include and how to present it. This prompt helps ChatGPT generate comprehensive trial summaries that cover everything from treatment mechanisms to statistical significance, while maintaining a professional tone that's still accessible to various audiences.
Prompt
You will act as an expert medical researcher and writer to summarize the findings of a recent clinical trial on the efficacy of a new treatment for cystic fibrosis. Your summary should include the following details:
1. The name of the treatment and its mechanism of action.
2. Key outcomes of the trial, including primary and secondary endpoints.
3. Statistical significance and clinical relevance of the results.
4. Any notable side effects or safety concerns observed during the trial.
5. Comparisons to existing treatments, if applicable.
6. Implications for future research or clinical practice.
Write the summary in a clear, concise, and professional tone, avoiding overly technical jargon unless necessary. Use my communication style, which is direct, analytical, and focused on actionable insights. If specific details about the trial are not provided, make reasonable assumptions based on current trends in cystic fibrosis research and clearly state where assumptions are made.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the name of the treatment or trial, if known?
2. Are there any specific endpoints or outcomes you want emphasized?
3. Do you have access to the full trial publication, or should I base the summary on publicly available information?
4. Should I include a comparison to other treatments currently in use?
5. Are there any specific audiences (e.g., clinicians, researchers, patients) the summary should be tailored for?
6. Do you have a preferred length or level of detail for the summary?
7. Should I highlight any particular statistical methods used in the trial?
8. Are there any additional details about the trial design (e.g., phase, sample size, duration) that you can provide?
9. Should I include any historical context about cystic fibrosis treatments?
10. Are there any formatting preferences (e.g., bullet points, paragraphs, tables)?
