Bayesian hierarchical cognitive modeling with the EMC2 package.
Article in Behavior research methods, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
EMC2 is an R package that provides a comprehensive five-phase workflow for Bayesian hierarchical analysis of cognitive models of choice. In the design phase, EMC2 bridges the gap between standard regression analyses and cognitive modeling through linear-model specifications for cognitive-model parameters. In the Bayesian specification and sampling phases, the package provides flexible priors, hierarchical structures, and efficient sampling algorithms, enabling fast, user-friendly estimation of computationally intensive cognitive models. In the final two phases, EMC2 provides a suite of functions for model criticism and inference. Using two leading evidence-accumulation models for illustration, we provide a tutorial on the EMC2-based workflow that eases and guides the process of specifying, evaluating, refining, comparing, and interpreting Bayesian hierarchical cognitive models.
