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

A recent paper by Pepperberg, Learning & Behavior, 51, 5-6, (2023) enquires about the validity of the finding that dogs are susceptible to the Kanizsa's triangle illusion, reported by Lõoke and coauthors (Lõoke et al., Animal Cognition, 25, 43-51, 2022). Here we elaborate on the matter, providing both theoretical considerations and further data, supporting the soundness of our previous conclusions.
