I think the key study would need to be a medium to large scale experiment that measures the ratio of those who benefited and those who were hurt by it. So far it seems there are small scale studies of people who would have been ok without it, but this isn't proof of the large scale effects. I suspect guaranteed basic income is a just a catalyst, which is good for those who would have recovered anyway, and bad for people who don't have the mental framework to leverage extra money properly (accelerating their problems). Being resourceful is correlated with success, and this is not something that changes with extra spending power for everyone.
