1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Predicting human performance in perceptual categorization tasks in which category membership is determined by similarity has been historically difficult. This article proposes a novel biologically motivated difficulty measure that can be generalized across stimulus types and category structures. The new measure is compared to 12 previously proposed measures on four extensive data sets that each included multiple conditions that varied in difficulty. The studies were highly diverse and included experiments with both continuous- and binary-valued stimulus dimensions, a variety of different stimulus types, and both linearly and nonlinearly separable categories. Across these four applications, the new measure was the most successful at predicting the observed rank ordering of conditions by difficulty, and it was also the most accurate at predicting the numerical values of the mean error rates in each condition.
