What's Yours Is Mine: Spontaneous Representation and Memorization of Co-Actor's Goals.
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
Joint action involves more than coordinated activity; it is cooperation grounded in shared intentionality, whereby partners represent an activity as something "we" are doing together. This "we-mode" stance should shape attention and memory, making partner-relevant information psychologically significant because it supports a collective goal. Using a joint-search paradigm, we tested whether people automatically attend to and remember partner goals. Pairs of participants searched for targets from different item categories, and trials were successful only when both responded correctly. A surprise recognition test followed the joint-search task assessing memory for the items. Across Experiments 1 (animate stimuli) and 2 (inanimate stimuli), participants showed better recognition of partner-goal items compared to distractors. Participants also showed enhanced attention to partner-goal items in Experiment 2. In Experiment 3, participants completed the same task, and returned three days later for a recognition test first followed by a second joint-search task with switched targets. Participants continued to show superior recognition for partner-goal items, and search efficiency improved after targets switched, indicating that partner-goal was retained over time and supported later cooperation. Together, these findings demonstrate that human cognition supports joint actions over time by organizing attention and memory around what "we" are doing together.
