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

Social protests can play a crucial role in shaping a nation’s direction. But what drives people to stay dedicated to a cause over time? This study was the first to implement a psychological intervention tournament (N = 1218) within the context of an ongoing social movement, testing the effectiveness of three psychological interventions in promoting sustained engagement in the pro-democracy protests in Israel in 2023, when citizens rallied against a proposed legal reform that threatened to weaken democracy. Our findings revealed that a momentum-based intervention effectively kept participants involved in the movement two and a half months post-exposure, outperforming morality-based and identity-based interventions. These results provide novel and valuable insights for sustaining social protests in pursuit of societal change.
