Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
In the context of the rapid development of e-commerce, the advanced selling strategy has become an important means widely used by online retailers, and the innovation of this advanced selling strategy has been extended to the logistics service level. Based on the consumer utility theory, combined with the strategic behavior of consumers, this paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of ordinary pre-sale strategy (OPS) and sinking pre-sale strategy (SPS) under the deposit inflation mode. The research results show that when consumers have a high level of awareness of logistics services and a moderate proportion of tail payment, the sunken pre-sale strategy has more advantages, and the improvement of consumers' perception coefficient of logistics, proportion of tail payment, and SPS logistics speed is conducive to the increase of retailers' profits. In addition, retailers need to be cautious when setting pre-sale prices and deposits to avoid excessive deposit settings leading to the loss of consumers. Regardless of the inflation factor of the deposit, the amount of payment remains unchanged, but the higher coefficient helps to increase demand and profit. The research not only provides theoretical support for retailers in formulating advanced selling strategies but also reveals the close relationship between consumer behavior and the market.
