Underlying structure in the dynamics of chase and escape interactions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chase and escape behaviors are important skills in many sports. Previous studies have described the behaviors of the attacker (escaper) and defender (chaser) by focusing on their positional relationship and have presented several key parameters that affect the outcome (successful attack or defense). However, it remains unclear how each individual agent moves, and how the outcome is determined in this type of interaction. To address these questions, we constructed a chase and escape task in a virtual space that allowed us to manipulate agents' kinematic parameters. We identified the basic strategies of each agent and their robustness to changes in their parameters. Moreover, we identified the determinants of the outcome and a geometrical explanation of their importance. Our results revealed the underlying structure of a simplified human chase and escape interaction and provided the insight that, although each agent apparently moves freely, their strategies in two-agent interactions are in fact rather constrained.
