There is article shows no evidence of fabrication, fraud or misinformation, while making accusations of all of them. All it shows is that ChatGPT was used, which is wildly escalated into "evidence manipulation" (ironically without evidence).

Much more work is needed to show that this means anything.

If the result was not read even to check for obvious boilerplate GPT markers, then we can't expect anything else in them was. That means anything else, numbers, interpretation, conclusion was potentially never checked.

The authors use fraud in a specific sense here: "using ChatGPT fraudulently or undeclared" where they proved that the produced text was included without proper review. They also never accused those papers of misinformation, so they don't need to show evidence of that.
