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

A novel dataset of 556 street art images is presented, accompanied by affective evaluations from 1,239 Portuguese and Brazilian participants. Artworks were selected to reflect themes associated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Using a stimulus-sampling design, each participant completed an online survey in which 10 randomly selected artworks were presented and reported their responses in terms of valence, arousal, and specific emotion labels (being moved, awe, inspiration, hope, sadness, fear, anger, emotional connection, reflection, awareness, and interest), as well as their interest in street art and sustainability consciousness. Multilevel analyses showed that higher interest in street art and greater sustainability consciousness were consistent predictors of more positive emotional responses to the artworks. In contrast, the effects of gender and age were negligible, and national differences emerged only for feeling moved and awe. Network analyses revealed a highly interconnected emotional structure, with three clusters: self-transcendent, epistemic, and negative emotions. Feeling moved and emotional connection occupied central bridging positions, showing both direct and indirect links across positive and negative emotion clusters. Overall, these findings indicate that street art evokes a broad range of interconnected self-transcendent, cognitive-epistemic, and negative emotions, highlighting the complexity of viewers' responses to the artworks. The dataset provides a valuable resource for research on emotional responses to street art and can support broader investigations into visual perception, aesthetic processing, and the communication of sustainability-related themes.
