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

Astronauts will spend prolonged periods in an isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) spaceflight environment on long-duration space exploration missions. Continuous confinement in close quarters with a few crewmembers will require high levels of crew cohesion to promote mission success and crewmember wellbeing. In the past, the most common measure of crew cohesion were surveys, which tend to have high participant bias. More recently, researchers have analyzed video recordings that provide detailed proximity information but are time consuming to score and prone to interobserver bias. Here, we measured crewmember proximity as a surrogate measure of crew cohesion with proximity sensors worn by crewmembers during two Antarctic 10-14 months winter-over missions (
