I think the issue is that the presentation in the abstract gives the impression that the rs and ds are representing the same effects, just expressed in the two metrics. Reading the paper, it is clear that they are summary effect sizes for different types of studies.

For instance, "r = −.405, d = −1.610"
Does r= .41 translate to d = 1.61?
Maybe I'm missing something.
That abstract could lead to a ton of confusions.
At least APS hasn't - YET - started inserting AI-generated abstracts that aren't even approved by the authors/reviewers/editors
