The occurrence of a particular state is a predictor of successful travel consultation.
Article in PloS one, 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
Dyadic interactions, such as consultations between clerks (i.e., travel agent sales staff) and customers, involve multiple behaviors that reflect people's internal states, such as interests and preferences. Thus, the time-series patterns of multiple behaviors between two people reveal the characteristics of the interaction. In this study, we conducted an experiment on travel consultations between clerks and customers, which was as close as possible to a real situation, and analyzed the time-series shifts of multiple behaviors in a 30-minute dyadic interaction using a hidden Markov model. We found differences in interactions between successful and unsuccessful consultations. In particular, in the successful interaction, a customer entered an interactional state associated with interest in the content of the consultation in the first 10 minutes, and such a state was likely to persist during the consultation. These findings suggest that early interactional engagement may serve as a potential behavioral marker associated with consultation success and offer a preliminary process-level perspective on interaction dynamics in naturalistic dyadic consultations.
