AI-guided digital intervention with physiological monitoring reduces intrusive memories after experimental trauma.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Trauma prevalence is vast globally. Evidence-based digital treatments can help, but most require human guidance. Human guides provide tailored instructions and responsiveness to internal states, but limit scalability. Might generative AI and neurotechnology provide a scalable alternative? Here we provide a first test of ANTIDOTE, combining AI guidance and pupillometry to automatically deliver and monitor the Imagery Competing Task Intervention (ICTI). ICTI is a digital intervention developed by our group to reduce intrusive memories after psychological trauma, previously delivered with human guidance. One hundred healthy volunteers were exposed to videos of traumatic events and randomized to an intervention or active control condition. As predicted, intervention participants reported significantly fewer intrusive memories over the following week. Post hoc assessments confirmed the AI guide delivered the intervention successfully. Pupil size tracked intervention engagement and was associated with symptom reduction, providing a candidate biomarker. These findings suggest a path towards developing AI-guided digital interventions with scalability potential.
