Virtual Reality Expands the Toolkit for Conducting Health Psychology Research.
Article in Social and personality psychology compass, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Virtual reality (VR) has become a readily available consumer technology, strengthening its promise as a research tool for health psychology. We identify five key strengths of VR-based research: data collection, realism, experimental control, adaptability, and mobility (DREAM). We review how these advantages allow researchers to investigate behavioral, psychological, and social processes related to health and well-being in novel ways, by using VR as both a stimulus and a measurement tool. We also describe challenges facing VR research and potential strategies researchers can use to mitigate them. In addition to reviewing existing research, we hope to inspire researchers to consider ways in which VR might be used in future to augment their own research programs or answer currently impracticable research questions in health psychology.
