Temporal Dynamics of Anxiety and Career Adaptability in AI-Delivered Versus Human-Delivered Counseling Among Unemployed Adults: A 13-Wave Longitudinal Behavioral Intervention Study.

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
backgroundThis study examined temporal trajectories of anxiety and career adaptability in unemployed adults receiving a structured biweekly counseling intervention delivered either through an AI-delivered system or through human counselors.
methodIn this 6-month randomized longitudinal study, 400 participants were assessed across 13 waves (T0-T12). Linear mixed-effects modeling was used to evaluate onset timing, rate of change, and stabilization patterns across delivery conditions.
resultsAnxiety decreased and career adaptability increased significantly over time in both groups. However, the AI-delivered condition showed steeper reductions in anxiety and faster gains in career adaptability than the human-delivered condition. Differences between conditions were reflected in rate of change rather than onset timing.
conclusionBoth delivery formats were associated with improvement, but AI-delivered support was associated with faster longitudinal change within the structured intervention protocol. These findings suggest that delivery modality may shape the temporal dynamics of psychological change in structured behavioral interventions for unemployed adults.
