The fault is not in ourselves, but in our methods: comment on Schwarz.
Article in Integrative psychological & behavioral science, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Schwarz is right to question the methodological foundations of much of contemporary personality research. I argue that he does not go far enough, opting instead to salvage the psychometric tradition for research it cannot possibly accomplish, namely the understanding of persons in an evolutionary and historical context. Furthermore he does not address the question of measurement that has bedeviled the discipline. For all its historical tenacity, the psychometric tradition has been good at classification but weak at understanding, explanation, or description of the phenomena that most interest psychologists.
