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
Combating disinformation in social media is a critical problem, notably when the disinformation targets healthcare. We explore how to fine-tune and use Large Language Models (LLM) to counteract health-related disinformation on social media. The fine-tuned base models for this project are T5, BERT, and LlaMa-2. We divided the fine-tuning into two sections: 1) classifying if the text is health-related and 2) verifying if the text contains disinformation. To rebut disinformation we use Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to query trusted medical sources. Our experiment shows that the models can classify health-related with 94% precision, 95% recall, and 90% F1. We also show that we classify disinformation texts with 99% precision, 95% recall, and 97% F1. We present a system that can help health experts combat and rebut disinformation on different social media platforms.
