The effect of similarity perceptions on human cooperation and confrontation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
By assuring aversive actions are followed by similarly aversive reactions, legislators of antiquity aimed to reduce belligerence and aggression. In the present study we show how similarity perceptions drive cooperation and confrontation across several strategic decision types. Examining the choices made in three one-shot symmetric conflict games: the prisoner's dilemma, the chicken, and the battle of the sexes, we show how a short encounter with a stranger accounts for the formation of subjective similarity perceptions, which together with the expected payoffs of the game determine the choice of the preferred alternative. We describe the role of similarity perceptions for all two-by-two games, specifically for a subset of fifty-seven games that are sensitive to similarity perceptions with the opponent. We then suggest that this mechanism, by which individuals maximize expected payoffs, is key to the understanding of the evolution of cooperation and confrontation.
