Assessing the integration of social information using AI-generated videos: a brief research report.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Integrating social information from different cues and modalities is a central feature of social functioning and humans respond sensitively to incongruences between different social information types (e.g., smiling while uttering a negative statement about oneself). To investigate the processing of these integration processes, researchers frequently draw on the simultaneous or consecutive presentation of static stimuli, such as written text and images, which often exhibit a relatively low naturalness of these stimuli. In this brief research report, I illustrate how AI-generated videos can successfully be used to overcome some of these limitations. Videos were generated by combining different avatar images (that were also generated with an AI tool) with text messages that either presented statements that were congruent or incongruent with expectations based on the age, gender, or facial emotion expressions of the avatar. In this pilot study, 47 participants watched these videos and rated the plausibility and emotional intensity of each utterance. Despite being fully generated artificially, videos elicited different responses depending on the condition. Incongruences based on social categories (age, gender) engendered lower plausibility ratings while intensity ratings were relatively unaffected. In contrast, intensity ratings for emotion expressions were expectedly higher (irrespective of congruence) but sensitivity to plausibility was affected by the congruence of the facial expression and the statement of the avatar. This pilot study illustrates the potential of AI-generated stimuli for investigating socio-cognitive processes, particularly in research on the integration of social information.
