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

Joint action research explores how multiple humans can coordinate their movements to achieve common goals. When there is uncertainty about the joint goal, individuals need to integrate their perceptual information of the environment to collaboratively determine their new goal. To ensure that a group reaches a consensus about the goal, collective decision making among the individuals is required. Collective decision making can be facilitated by nonverbal expressions of opinions and associated confidence levels. Here, we show that confidence sharing in groups of 2, 3, and 4 individuals can be studied using their trajectories when jointly moving toward one of several options. We found that both opinions and confidence levels can be distinguished in individual movement trajectories, and found that movement features can predict an individual's influence. Our results suggest that movement trajectories are a valid way to study confidence sharing in human collective decision making.
