The El Greco Fallacy, this Time with Feeling: How (not) to Measure Group Differences in Emotional Intensity.
Article in Affective science, 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
We all get angry. And some of us get angrier than others. But are such differences systematic across groups? Affective scientists often make claims about group differences in emotional intensity by comparing group averages on labeled (e.g. Likert) scales. For example, prominent research has used such scales to claim, perhaps counterintuitively, that women experience anger more intensely than men. Despite their ubiquity, these measures are susceptible to a subtle but notorious problem: the Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42761-025-00314-z.
