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

Consumers increasingly demand extraordinary experiences and businesses want to provide such experiences to build loyalty and increase customer lifetime value. One of the most significant aspects of consumer experiences is employee-customer interactions. We hypothesized that the value of customers' experiences would be reflected in the neurophysiology of sales associates and that these data would predict eventual purchases. We tested this hypothesis by measuring neurologic Immersion of sales associates serving customers (
