Redefining super recognition in the real world: Skilled face or person identity recognizers?
Article in British journal of psychology (London, England : 1953), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
While there has been growing interest in the deployment of superior face recognizers in policing and security settings, it is likely that most real-world tasks tap person rather than face recognition skills. We suggest that changes in real-world screening tasks and terminology are required to distinguish these individuals from laboratory-identified superior face recognizers, who have more potential in developing our theoretical understanding of the face recognition system.
