The five Garners: The psychological contributions of Professor Wendell R. Garner.
Article in Memory & cognition, 2026. 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
In the domain of perception and cognition, few scientists have contributed more broadly and profoundly than W. R. Garner. Today, Garner is best known for the eponymous Garner interference, but several equally epoch-making developments are less widely recognized or associated with his name. In this article, we provide an in-depth examination of five areas developed by Garner's pioneering ideas, all precursors of contemporary research. They include hearing psychophysics, methodology (with implications for resolving the replication/credibility crisis), information theory, perceptual independence, and attention. All have been instrumental in shaping and molding current perceptual and cognitive science. This article can also serve the student of cognition and perception as a reference for the origins of contemporary work and findings in psychological science.
