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

Current research on morality supports the idea that the moral landscape is comprised of several domains. However, the extent to which these domains may be thought of as equivalent when used as the basis for forming impressions or making social judgments is not yet understood. Past literature suggests that there may be notable differences in the evolutionary and social development of different moral behaviors, which raises questions about how actions based in different domains may be interpreted and judged by others. Across three studies, we had participants evaluate social targets based on behaviors pertaining to the moral domains. Results showed that correspondent inferences, attributional bias, and willingness to cooperate differed across domains. Interestingly, the Equality and Property domains emerged distinct. This research contributes to contemporary morality literature and proposes a new direction for understanding how morality plays a role in social judgment.
