Table 1 Extracted dimensions. The table summarizes the dimensions coded from the included studies. Some dimensions were aggregated for analysis, specifically for the LLM model and domain. The interaction type “one-shot” refers to message conditions where the LLM produces a single static output, whereas “interactive” refers to multi-turn setups allowing adaptive communication.
