Influence of strangers' vocal attractiveness on adolescents' epistemic trust: moderation effect of analytical thinking.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Epistemic trust is closely linked to the cognitive process of information containing knowledge toward the adaptation to complex social environments, and can be influenced by cognitive biases from external traits such as the voice of a stranger. This influence may be moderated by factors related to the individual's thinking style and the voice's emotional content. Considering that adolescence is an important stage in the social development of individuals, we investigate the influence of strangers' vocal attractiveness on adolescents' epistemic trust, as well as its moderators, via two studies based on trustworthiness ratings of technology news summaries contained in audio messages. Experimental results suggest that vocal attractiveness is a crucial cue promoting epistemic trust when adolescents make relevant decisions during interactions with strangers. In addition, successfully activating individuals' analytical thinking has been found to reduce this influence.
