Dimensions underlying human understanding of the reachable world.
Article in Cognition, 2023. 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
Near-scale environments, like work desks, restaurant place settings or lab benches, are the interface of our hand-based interactions with the world. How are our conceptual representations of these environments organized? What properties distinguish among reachspaces, and why? We obtained 1.25 million similarity judgments on 990 reachspace images, and generated a 30-dimensional embedding which accurately predicts these judgments. Examination of the embedding dimensions revealed key properties underlying these judgments, such as reachspace layout, affordance, and visual appearance. Clustering performed over the embedding revealed four distinct interpretable classes of reachspaces, distinguishing among spaces related to food, electronics, analog activities, and storage or display. Finally, we found that reachspace similarity ratings were better predicted by the function of the spaces than their locations, suggesting that reachspaces are largely conceptualized in terms of the actions they support. Altogether, these results reveal the behaviorally-relevant principles that structure our internal representations of reach-relevant environments.
