Evaluating the performance of artificial intelligence in summarizing pre-coded text to support evidence synthesis: a comparison between chatbots and humans

Chatbots powered by large language models may be a useful tool to accelerate qualitative evidence synthesis. Given the current speed of chatbot development and fine-tuning, the successful applications of chatbots to facilitate research will very likely continue to expand over the coming years.
