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

The prevalent method for measuring emotional experiences is self-report scales. However, this method is prone to bias, affected by retrospective errors, and limited in studying individual differences due to variability in how individuals interpret scale values. In the present study, we tested the convergent validity of an alternative approach, which infers emotional components from computational modeling as applied to binary pleasant/unpleasant reports about affective images. Reaction times and choices were modeled to estimate the drift rate (efficiency of emotional evidence accumulation) and the boundary (decision caution). Participants (
