The Impact of Multidimensional Warning Messages on Payment Security Behavior Across Different Scenarios.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
To ensure the security of mobile payments, anti-fraud warning messages serve as a critical defensive interface between users and potential risks. The effectiveness of their design directly influences users' risk perceptions and security-related behaviors. The present study employed eye-tracking technology to examine the effectiveness of warning messages in mobile payment transfer scenarios and the impact of specific warning design features on user decision-making. Experiment 1 utilized a 2 (warning message: present vs. absent) × 3 (potential risk level: high, medium, low) within-subject design to test the fundamental role of warning message presence. Results indicated that the presence of warning messages significantly prolonged participants' reaction times when selecting the transfer option, suggesting a more cautious decision-making process. Building on Experiment 1, Experiment 2 employed a 2 (warning color: red vs. blue) × 2 (warning semantic type: imperative vs. reminder) × 3 (potential risk level: high, medium, low) within-subject design and incorporated eye-tracking technology to investigate the effects of these design variables and underlying attentional mechanisms. Red warnings and imperative semantics were both found to significantly increase the likelihood of transfer rejection, with these design advantages being particularly pronounced in high-risk contexts. These findings provide empirical evidence to guide mobile payment platforms in optimizing dynamically adaptive, context-sensitive anti-fraud warning designs.
