Do Moral Views Change during a Crisis? An Experiment on Health Care Priority Setting.

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
BackgroundResource scarcity during large-scale crises, such as pandemics, can increase the emphasis on efficiency in medical decision making. However, it remains unclear whether such shifts are primarily driven by the direct experience of scarcity or by the way in which ethical principles for health care priority setting are expressed in the context of a crisis. This study investigates whether a national crisis affects public support for health care priority-setting principles and whether abstract versus concrete formulations of these principles shape that support.DesignWe conducted a preregistered online experiment (
