Development and validation of the AI-assisted psychoemotional regulation scale (ERP-IA-6).
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
Background: Conversational and generative artificial intelligence tools are increasingly used to organize thoughts, clarify emotional experiences, and cope with everyday distress. However, brief instruments assessing perceived AI-assisted psychoemotional regulation remain scarce. Objective: To develop the AI-Assisted Psychoemotional Regulation Scale (ERP-IA-6) and examine its initial psychometric properties among Peruvian adults. Methods: The initial eight-item pool was reviewed by five psychologists, and all items obtained Aiken's V values above 0.80. A total of 538 adults participated (M age = 24.51 years, SD = 7.48; range = 18-81); 81.6% were aged 18-29 years, 52.0% were women, and 93.1% reported AI use. Using a reproducible sex-stratified procedure, the sample was divided into exploratory ( Results: Exploratory analyses supported reducing the scale from eight to six items based on conceptual redundancy and parsimony. The final version showed adequate factorability (KMO = 0.910; Bartlett's χ Conclusion: The ERP-IA-6 provides favorable initial evidence as a brief measure with a dominant unidimensional structure for assessing perceived AI-assisted psychoemotional regulation among Peruvian adults. Scores should be interpreted as perceived regulatory support, not as evidence of clinical effectiveness, therapeutic safety, or equivalence to professional care.
