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

In this study, eye movement technology was used to explore the lateralization characteristics of Han and Tibetan individuals when they recognized faces of individuals of their own and other ethnicities. In Experiment 1, the faces were divided into two areas of interest: the left and right sides. The results revealed that left lateralization occurred when participants of both ethnicities recognized faces of individuals of their own and other nationalities. In Experiment 2, the faces were divided into six areas of interest: the left and right eyes, the left and right sides of the nose, and the left and right sides of the mouth. The results revealed that the focus of left lateralization was the nose and mouth for the faces of Han individuals, whereas that for the faces of Tibetan individuals was the mouth. The results indicate that left visual lateralization occurs when the faces of Tibetan and Han individuals are recognized and that this lateralization differs across different ethnicities.
