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

The SADAR (Sistema Autoesplorativo Dialogogico Autentico Relazionale-Authentic Relational Dialogogic Self-Exploratory System) positions AI as a Digital Analytic Third for therapists' post-session reflection and clinical supervision, rather than for direct patient interventions or automated clinical decision-making. The SADAR frames AI as a dialogogic symbolic co-presence that expands the therapist's reflective space and deepens countertransferential awareness, without replacing professional judgment or human supervision. This perspective article defines the term "dialogogic," presents a three-step reflective process (positioning, dialogogic prompting, and critical integration), and illustrates the framework's potential and limitations through two clinical vignettes. The operational implementation is detailed in a companion brief report. All outputs must adhere to reflective supervision protocols and should never replace direct patient data.
