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

Effects of negative punishment are analyzed either with an emphasis on undesirable behavioral byproducts or by reference to its possible role in an increase in group cohesion when punishment is contingent on behaviors undermining collective interests. The present study addresses negative punishment and its effects on social environments when operant contingencies and metacontingencies are concurrent and when the punitive event is contingent on culturant. Three microcultures with three participants each were exposed to a task in which each participant chose a row in a figure with four numbered rows shown on a computer screen. The experimental design was ABCABC. Operant contingencies were programmed such that in all conditions choosing an odd row produced three blue tokens and choosing an even row produced one red token. Programmed metacontingencies predicted consequences on Impulsive Culturant (
