Mixed hybrid visual foraging is near optimal.

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
This study investigated patch-leaving strategies in mixed hybrid visual foraging scenarios, focusing on how target specificity and the number of target sets influence overall outcomes. In mixed hybrid foraging, participants collect targets from patches with varying types (specific and categorical) and numbers (three or six) of targets. Despite the complexity introduced by having multiple target types, participants' patch-leaving behavior remained broadly consistent with the predictions of the marginal value theorem (MVT), suggesting that quitting strategies are based on similar rules across different conditions. While overall foraging performance varied with target specificity and the number of sets, patch-leaving decisions consistently adhered to a simple, rule-based approach. This study highlights the robustness of visual foraging strategies and suggests that effective patch-leaving behavior is maintained even in complex visual environments.
