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

In scientific studies of human-AI interaction dynamics, researchers often need to present participants with opportunities to interact with live large-language models (LLMs). However, technical and practical challenges (from survey platform limitations and logging chat data to manipulating AI behaviors for experimental designs) often inhibit survey-based deployment of AI stimuli. We developed DiSCoKit-an open-source toolkit for deploying live LLM experiences (e.g., ones based on models delivered through Microsoft Azure portal) through JavaScript-enabled survey platforms (e.g., Qualtrics). We describe the toolkit's scientific motivation, architecture, and operation. We also offer an example of toolkit deployment and customization, along with discussing its possibilities and limitations. Altogether, DiSCoKit gives researchers a flexible, secure, scalable solution for deploying naturalistic LLM stimulus experiences through online surveys.
