The Impact of Top-Down Attention on Emotion Ensemble Perception: Fear-Guided Attention Leads to Cautious Decisions.

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
Accurately deducing the emotional tenor of our visual surroundings has important repercussions, such as whether to approach a friendly group or flee a threatening mob. Perceptual decisions regarding individual emotional stimuli are heavily influenced by both task-driven (top-down) and stimulus-driven (bottom-up) attention. However, the impact of these attentional factors on perceptual decisions regarding the overarching or "gist" emotion conveyed by an ensemble of emotional stimuli remains unclear. We manipulated top-down and bottom-up attention in a task in which participants ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42761-025-00323-y.
