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
Encoding uncertainty in timelines can provide more precise and informative visualizations (e.g., visual representations of unsure times or locations in event planning timelines). To evaluate the effectiveness of different temporal and categorical uncertainty representations on timelines, we conducted a mixed-methods user study with 81 participants on uncertainty in activity recall timelines (ARTs). We find that participants' accuracy is better when temporal uncertainty is encoded using transparency instead of dashing, and that a participant's visual encoding preference does not always align with their performance (e.g., they performed better with a less-preferred visual encoding technique). Additionally, qualitative findings show that existing biases of an individual alter their interpretation of ARTs. A copy of our study materials is available at https://osf.io/98p6m/.
