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

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly altered the practice of couple/marital and family therapy (CMFT). While much has been written in other disciplines about competencies to be developed in integrating AI into one's work, to date no competencies have been presented for use in CMFT. In this article, we present the first competencies for AI in CMFT. These new competencies cross six domains and were informed by three other competency frameworks: the condensed core competencies for CMFT, interdisciplinary competencies for telebehavioral health, and AI competencies for medicine. Emphasis is placed on the development of AI-specific competencies that align with relational ethics and person-centered care.
