ACE: Audit of Abdelbasset et al. (2019)
A research-integrity project auditing clinical papers for duplicated data, statistical inconsistencies, authorship conflicts, and possible misconduct.
Field notes
The project organizes its work as numbered research-integrity reports, with the visible first report comparing three clinical papers rather than reviewing a single article in isolation. Its analysis combines publication metadata, authorship and ethics-approval details, duplicated baseline data, outcome statistics, and GRIMMER consistency checks. The report says seven of nine PHQ-9 mean-and-standard-deviation pairs fail those checks and records 21 alleged violations. The site provides both an online version and a PDF under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 notice.
