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

This study reimagined the psychology questionnaire development process using large language model ((LLM) technology, aiming to overcome the protracted preparation cycles and significant human bias inherent in traditional scale development. We developed a specialized fine-tuning scheme for a corpus of 169 professional psychological questionnaires. By integrating instruction fine-tuning with human feedback reinforcement, we significantly enhanced the adaptability of the Qwen-2.5 and GLM-4 models for demanding professional psychological assessment tasks. The optimized models demonstrated remarkable gains across key dimensions: text generation quality (BLEU-4 increased by 0.05, ROUGE-L by 0.057), scientific rigor (logical consistency improved by 28.6%), and cultural adaptability (achieving over 85% accuracy in cross-regional expression conversion). This research solidly supports the feasibility of leveraging LLM technology to drive research paradigm transformation in psychology, offering crucial methodological support for developing efficient, intelligent psychological measurement tools.
