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

Cybersecurity is now critically important in an increasingly digitized and connected world. In addition to required digital security, individuals and organisations pursue multiple other objectives under binding resource constraints. Understanding how they make decisions in the face of these trade-offs is important for both research and teaching purposes. Games can create effective and exciting learning environments and also provide an immersive and experiment-based research setting to understand decision-making. We present a novel tabletop board game which sets cybersecurity in a broader organisational context and emulates real life business decisions. It can be used as a powerful research tool to understand decision-making about cybersecurity in a resource-constrained and uncertain environment. It is also a useful interdisciplinary educational tool, integrating concepts from cybersecurity, business development, and innovation management in gameplay.
