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

High-frequency vibrations from manual exploration of natural surfaces are crucial for differentiating materials. These signals depend not only on the spatial structure of materials' surfaces but also on exploration speed. How we achieve speed constant material perception, even in passive perception in which the texture is moved across the finger, is an open question. Here, we systematically varied exploration speed and recorded vibratory signals from human explorations of 74 material samples. We report that natural materials' power spectra can be described by the 1/
