ArticlePatterns (New York, N.Y.)2023
AI-generated research paper fabrication and plagiarism in the scientific community.
Article in Patterns (New York, N.Y.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fabricating research within the scientific community has consequences for one's credibility and undermines honest authors. We demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating research using an AI-based language model chatbot. Human detection versus AI detection will be compared to determine accuracy in identifying fabricated works. The risks of utilizing AI-generated research works will be underscored and reasons for falsifying research will be highlighted.
