The way aesthetic needs affects the relationship between aesthetic responsiveness and creativity.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although the study of beauty and its education is expanding, there is still a scarcity of research surrounding the development of our minds and their responses to these emotions. The goal of this study was to look at how the way we respond to beauty connects with creativity, and how our need for beauty influences this connection. A total of 748 university students participated in the study conducted in China. The participants filled out anonymous surveys on a website. The surveys included three tools: the Aesthetic Needs Scale (ANS), the Aesthetic Responsiveness Assessment (AReA), and the Williams Creative Tendency Scale (WCTS). A positive connection was found between all three factors studied. Aesthetic needs play a role in how the assessment of aesthetic responsiveness relates to creativity. This means that people who score high on the aesthetic responsiveness tend to be more creative, especially if they also have strong aesthetic needs.
