This is a screenshot of the authors' contribution statement. What seems suspicious or inappropriate here?

One of the author's contributions is listed as visualization, which does not qualify them for co-authorship.

Although there is no direct evidence that the paper originates from a paper mill, there is some indication that at least one of the co-authors probably has co-authored a paper from a paper mill and was denied a contract extension due to ethical considerations.
