Q2.2 — Are there concerns relating to the timing or absence of study registration?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemYes

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsYes

Supporting Evidence (2)

Clinical Trial RegistrationSource: Clinical trial registry (e.g. ClinicalTrials.gov, ISRCTN)

Registration ID: IRCT20211225053516N1

Registry: IRCT

Registry Link: https://trialsearch.who.int/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=IRCT20211225053516N1 (opens in new tab)

Registration Date: 30 Jan 2022

Prospective:Whether the trial was registered before participant recruitment began No

Assessment Rationale:How INSPECT-AI determined the prospective registration status by comparing dates Registration date is after LLM recruitment start date.

Study Design EvidenceDates and timelines extracted by INSPECT-AI from the publication text

Recruitment Start: 15-01-2021

Recruitment Start Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment start date Sampling period lasted from 15-1-2021 to 30-6-2021.

Recruitment End: 30-06-2021

Recruitment End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment end date Sampling period lasted from 15-1-2021 to 30-6-2021.

Study End: N/A

Study End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the study end date No explicit study end date.

Overall — What is the overall integrity assessment of the study?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemN/A

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsSome concerns

Rationale: Retrospective registration. I don't think the retraction issue with one of the authors is an issue, I think it's a different author with the same name.
