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

Physical traits can influence how people are perceived and evaluated by others, often reflecting underlying qualities considered important for social interaction. Gray hair color is one such trait that can potentially alter social perceptions related to aging, but has rarely been investigated independently from other correlated physical characteristics. The aim of the current work is to investigate how gray hair independently influences important social evaluations including perceived age, attractiveness, social status, aggressiveness, and trustworthiness.
