Coordination of network heterogeneity and individual preferences promotes collective fairness.

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
There are intensive debates about whether heterogeneous networks promote prosocial behaviors such as fairness and cooperation. Theoretical models predict that network heterogeneity plays a positive role, but this prediction has not been validated by experiments. We reconcile this debate by conducting experiments with two-stage ultimatum games on networks. In the first stage, we identify responders with strong fairness preferences, referred to as leaders. In the second stage, when leaders occupy high-degree nodes in a heterogeneous network, their ability to motivate fairness among neighboring proposers is amplified, and collective fairness is facilitated. We propose an evolutionary game model and an agent-based simulation framework that capture the microscopic mechanisms underlying the networked experiments. Our experiments, model, and simulations suggest that network reciprocity is achievable but requires coordinated interactions between different prosocial inclinations of individuals and social network structures.
