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

Players' emotion greatly affect their behaviors in conflicts but is usually ignored in current Hawk-Dove games. To describe the game more realistically, a strength gap is defined as a difference between two players' strength coefficients and is employed to propose an asymmetric hawk-dove game. A rank-dependent expected utility theory is also employed to describe the effects of players' emotion on their decisions. A new Hawk-Dove game model incorporating the strength gap and emotion is then proposed. Effects of emotion on this new game are theoretically analyzed and numerically verified using Matlab software. Results show that emotion has no effect on the hawk-dove game at a large strength gap or under a condition of non-negative net income. But it greatly plays a role under a condition of a small strength gap and negative net income. There is a rule in the emotional world that the same sexes attract and the opposite sexes repel in a vicious competitive environment where individuals earn little but take significant risks. A rational attitude prevents an opponent's decisions from being influenced by their own emotion. And a happier attitude promotes the opponent to choose more peaceful behaviors in conflicts.
