1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 study proposes a stochastic game model of value perception using a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework to address the double-edged influence of algorithmic recommendation systems on college students' values. With 73% of students trapped in algorithmic information cocoons and a 23% exposure rate to historical nihilism content on campus platforms, traditional governance methods such as keyword filtering and manual review are insufficient. To address this, we construct a 128-dimensional state space that integrates user personas, policy strength, and value similarity, and define a constrained action space to regulate recommendation weights. A dual-path evolution mechanism is introduced: one path driven by social practice diffuses red values through replication dynamics, while the other uses institutional deterrence to suppress harmful content. The model rigorously proves convergence to a Nash equilibrium with value similarity ≥0.8 when the deterrence factor equals 0.4. Empirical validation on 15,600 users and 12,340 content items, with cross-validation on 5,200 users, shows a 107% increase in value similarity and a 91% reduction in harmful content exposure. Consensus convergence time is reduced by 3.3 times. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and generalizability of this approach, offering a dynamic governance paradigm aligned with national algorithm regulation strategies.
