Discrete choice experiments: a primer for the communication researcher.
Article in Frontiers in communication, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Experiments are widely used in communication research to help establish cause and effect, however, studies published in communication journals rarely use discrete choice experiments (DCEs). DCEs have become a mainstay in fields such as behavioral economics, medicine, and public policy, and can be used to enhance research on the effects of message attributes across a wide range of domains and modalities. DCEs are powerful for disentangling the influence of many message attributes with modest sample sizes and participant burden. The benefits of DCEs result from multiple design elements including stimulus sets that elicit direct comparisons, blocked and/or fractional factorial structures, and a wide range of analytic options. Though sophisticated, the tools necessary to implement a DCE are freely available, and this article provides resources to communication scholars and practitioners seeking to add DCEs to their own methodological repertoire.
