Long-distance exploration in insightful problem-solving.
Article in Communications psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Insight represents a sudden and profound understanding, offering a new perspective that can offer the solution to a previously intractable problem. Insight is tightly associated with an "Aha" experience. Although various theories have attempted to explain how insight emerges, the dynamic search process leading to insight remains poorly understood, primarily due to the complex nature of creative problem-solving. In this study, we employ two versions of the Japanese remote associates test (RAT) (n = 349 and n = 105 participants, respectively), alongside a simulation model. This allows us to quantitatively manipulate the constraints imposed on the problem and to track the search process within the solution space. Our findings indicate that the insight and the accompanying "Aha" moment are characterized by exploration that spans greater distances within the solution space, thereby increasing the number of potential solutions available for evaluation.
