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 question about the origin of social behavior from the evolutionary perspective can be traced back to Darwin. However, the advance of research and discoveries made especially in the first half of the past century, as well as the theoretical positions disseminated by some of the representatives of the so-called «Neo-Darwinist» epistemological position, led to the inquiry about reciprocity and cooperation towards the complex necessity to validate the existence of cooperation and reciprocity. This document offers a critical review of the main assumptions that demonstrate how it is that one of its basic assumptions, that of the existence of an asocial state prior to cooperation and reciprocity can be the cause of the difficulties involved in the explanation of the evolutionary origin of the social behavior.
