Bridging numerical and verbal probabilities: Construction and application of the Chinese Lexicon of Verbal Probability.
Article in Behavior research methods, 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
Probabilities are typically expressed in two forms: numerical (e.g., 50%) and verbal (e.g., likely). In this regard, understanding how verbal probabilities map to their numerical equivalents is crucial for examining the probabilistic language used in various texts. This study addresses this issue by introducing the Chinese Lexicon of Verbal Probability (CLVP), comprising 343 verbal probability phrases that are each paired with corresponding numerical probabilities, membership functions, and frequency data from three corpora. We analyze the distribution of subjective values of verbal probability phrases in Chinese based on the CLVP, compare them with their English counterparts, and create a benchmark of seven high-frequency verbal probability phrases for organizational use. Overall, this study provides a valuable tool for converting verbal probabilities into numerical equivalents, contributing to cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research.
