1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Large language models have transformed scientific writing, which facilitates text drafting and revision, but at the same time introduces ethical and epistemological risks. Even though their use promotes linguistic equity, the lack of transparency and the manipulation of information threaten academic integrity. AI detectors -such as Originality.ai, ZeroGPT, or Turnitin- show variable effectiveness and do not provide conclusive results, especially against "text humanizers." AI-generated texts are characterized by formal coherence, but also by predictability and stylistic uniformity. Therefore, detection must be combined with ethical and critical evaluation made by humans, and it must be understood that true scientific integrity depends on intellectual judgment rather than technological automation.
