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

I question the problem of psychology as a science posed in the target article. Instead of attempting to establish a fixed vocabulary, I advocate for the benefits of adjusting concepts to each study - concepts just-in-time - since this is in line with the phenomenon we study in psychology. On the other hand, to develop psychology as a science we need to develop some common approaches. Here I agree that evolutionary psychology has the potential to frame this since evolutionary psychology focuses on the whole human in relation to environment and development in time with all the variability this gives. Especially to focus on the processes rather than the established entities is promising.
