The impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) usage patterns on employee creativity.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. 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
Introduction: Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming the way employees innovate, yet existing research has mainly focused on its adoption contexts and usage frequency. Methods: Based on a three-wave lagged survey design with 381 valid matched employees from knowledge-intensive firms in China, this exploratory empirical study develops and tests a model grounded in the exploration-exploitation framework, with knowledge integration capability as the core mediator and task complexity as the moderator. Results: Results show that: (1) Exploitative GenAI use is more strongly positively associated with incremental creativity than radical creativity; (2) Exploratory GenAI use is more strongly positively associated with radical creativity than incremental creativity; (3) Employees' knowledge integration capability plays a critical complementary mediating role in the above relationships; (4) Task complexity positively moderates the relationships between GenAI usage patterns and knowledge integration capability. Discussion: This study improves the theoretical precision of understanding human-AI co-creativity and provides evidence-based guidance for organizational GenAI strategies.
