Evaluating the influence of C/t on sensitivity to relative S+ production rate.
Article in Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Humans and nonhumans tend to display undermatching for stimuli positively correlated with reinforcement (i.e., S+s). C/t ratios are a method of quantifying the temporal informativeness of S+s, which may help account for varied levels of sensitivity to relative S+ production rate. However, researchers have yet to investigate the effects of C/t on choice in this context. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the influence of C/t on sensitivity to relative S+ production rate in a concurrent observing-response procedure with human participants. Each participant experienced eight conditions in which C/t and relative S+ production rate varied. Specifically, four relative S+ production rates were programmed with either low or high C/t. We evaluated differences in sensitivity by comparing multilevel regression models with and without C/t as a fixed-effect parameter and by comparing fits of the generalized matching equation across each participant's low- and high-C/t conditions. Our results suggest that participants' behavior was sensitive to relative S+ production rate. Surprisingly, participants' behavior tended to be more sensitive in their low-C/t conditions relative to their high-C/t conditions, but the magnitude of differences varied across participants.
