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

The present comment of the paper by Zagaria, Andò and Zennaro (2020) invests in the possible pragmatic entry of language in the problem of Psychology as a scientific enterprise, concerning the impossibility of consensus on its key constructs/concepts, and, consequently, the little cumulative capacity of the knowledge produced. Thus, the necessary discussion on the ambiguity, the cloudiness of the fundamental concepts of Psychology are reflected through the contributions of Wittgenstein II (2009) and the neopragmatism of Rorty (1999, 1995). Rorty offers a contemporary landscape on the purpose of knowledge production through his propositions on the relationship among truth, ethics and science in the humanities. The psychology of creativity is placed in the discussion as a field that well illustrate how the diversity of language games in Psychology reflects ethical perspectives in dealing with the phenomena, in this case related to the emergence of novelty, and the Rortian ironist reading on the relationship between objectivity and solidarity.
