The Apemen Faces Database (ApeFD).
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The Apemen Faces Database is a novel and versatile stimulus set designed for research in behavioral biology, evolutionary psychology, and related fields. The dataset comprises 620 photorealistic, artificially generated facial images of 31 generalized hominin models, available in multiple ocular coloration variants (31 hominins x 20 color variants). Each of the 31 facial portraits is paired with geometric morphometric data and norming information that includes perceptual ratings of six constructs (Threat, Sociability, Trustworthiness, Health, Age, and Masculinity). Further, editable .psd files enable easy generation of a wide spectrum of great ape eye phenotypes. The images were designed to be morphologically diverse, sufficiently humanlike to elicit social attributions, yet clearly non-human. This unique "humanlike but not human" design facilitates the study of face perception beyond the boundaries of extant human variation, offering novel opportunities for investigating cognitive and perceptual mechanisms in both humans and non-human primates.
