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

Objective: To describe the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) Consortium's initial implementation of generative artificial intelligence (AI) within the REDCap platform using a minimum viable product (MVP) strategy. Materials and methods: Guided by principles of security, optional adoption, and "human-in-the-loop" oversight, we developed and implemented three AI-assisted features: a writing helper, qualitative data summarization, and language translation. Features were disseminated as part of REDCap release 15.0. Results: During the first seven months post-release (January-August 2025), 18 institutions worldwide activated the REDCap generative AI module, with eight reporting sustained use across 1171 projects. At Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 958 projects used at least one feature, generating over 5700 generative AI API calls. Discussion: Early uptake demonstrates feasibility and researcher interest, though adoption depends on local AI tenant infrastructure and governance. Conclusion: The MVP provides generalizable lessons for securely and responsibly deploying generative AI within research electronic data capture systems.
