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 paper addresses the policy mobilities approach's relative inattention to counter-hegemonic activism and contentious politics. It outlines one way to expand the literature's engagement with the political. By introducing the notion of "moving ideas"-ideas that circulate among places and also move people to political action-it outlines five avenues for policy mobilities scholars to advance the approach: situated knowledge on-the-move; persuasive storytelling; encounters in physical "truth-spots"; the temporalities of activism; and the role of "futuring" in policy change. It ends with notes on the framework's possible applicability to numerous social movements and its challenges and limitations.
