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

Poetry is arguably the most creative expression of language and can evoke diverse subjective experiences, such as emotions and aesthetic responses, subsequently influencing the subjective judgment of the creativity of poem. This study investigated how certain personality traits-specifically openness, intellect, awe-proneness, and epistemic curiosity-influence the relationship between these subjective experiences and the creativity judgment of 36 English language poems. One hundred and twenty-nine participants rated each poem across six dimensions: clarity, aesthetic appeal, felt valence, felt arousal, surprise, and overall creativity. Initially, we obtained a parsimonious model that suggested aesthetic appeal, felt valence, and surprise as key predictors of poetic creativity. Subsequently, using multilevel analysis, we investigated the interactions between the four personality traits and these three predictors. Among the personality traits, openness emerged as the primary moderator in predicting judgments of poetic creativity, followed by curiosity and awe-proneness. Among the predictors, aesthetic appeal was moderated by all four personality traits, while surprise was moderated by openness, awe-proneness, and curiosity. Valence, on the other hand, was moderated by openness only. These findings provide novel insights into the ways individual differences influence evaluations of poetic creativity.
