Identifying identity and attributing value to attributes: reconsidering mechanisms of preference decisions.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Although the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) robustly encodes value during preference decisions, it also encodes multiple non-value features of choice options. The role of this information, and its relationship to the options' overall value remain open questions. In this opinion, we attempt to disentangle oft-studied categories of option information - identity and attributes - in the context of both classic theories of economic choice and contradicting evidence of choice biases in multi-attribute decisions. In doing so, we aim to set forth considerations for understanding the wide variety of decision-relevant information encoded by the OFC during preference decisions.
