Spower: A general-purpose Monte Carlo simulation power analysis program.
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
This article presents the software Spower, an R package designed as a general-purpose Monte Carlo simulation experiment tool to perform power analyses. The package includes complete customization capabilities with support for five distinct (expected) power analysis criteria (prospective/post hoc, a priori, compromise, sensitivity, and criterion), each of which reports the sampling uncertainty associated with the resulting estimates. Researchers may choose to define their own population generating and analysis function for their tailored simulation experiments, or may choose from a selection of the predefined simulation experiments available within the package. To facilitate comparability and further extensibility, simulation counterparts of the subroutines from the popular stand-alone software G*Power 3.1 (Faul et al., Behavior Research Methods, 41(4), 1149-1160 2009) are included within the package, along with other useful simulation experiment subroutines for improving estimation precision and creating visualizations.
