Agentic profiles for effective AI governance.
Review in Nature, 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
The creation of effective governance mechanisms for artificial intelligence (AI) agents requires a deeper understanding of their core properties and the implications they have for deployment. This paper provides a characterization of AI agents that focuses on four dimensions: autonomy, efficacy, goal complexity and generality. We propose different gradations for each dimension and argue that each dimension raises unique questions about the design, operation and governance of these systems. Moreover, we draw on this framework to construct 'agentic profiles' for different kinds of AI agent. These profiles help to illuminate cross-cutting technical and non-technical governance challenges posed by different classes of AI agents, ranging from narrow task-specific assistants to highly autonomous general-purpose systems. By mapping out key axes of variation and continuity across four dimensions, agentic profiles provide developers, policymakers and members of the public with guidance for effective AI governance.
