Conformity and Mass Media Influence in the Sznajd Model on Regular Lattices.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The polarization of opinions and difficulties in reaching a consensus are central problems of many modern societies. Understanding the dynamics governing those processes is, therefore, one of the main aims of sociophysics. In this work, the Sznajd model of opinion dynamics is investigated with Monte Carlo simulations performed on four different regular lattices: triangular, honeycomb, and square with von Neumann or Moore neighborhood. The main objective is to discuss the interplay of the probability of convincing (conformity) and mass media (external) influence and to provide the details of the possible phase transitions. The results indicate that, while stronger bonds and openness to discussion and argumentation may help in reaching a consensus, external influence becomes destructive at different levels depending on the lattice.
