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

The other-race effect (ORE) is a robust phenomenon manifested as faster and more accurate recognition of same-race faces, and is particularly stable for female face recognition. However, the underlying mechanism of the female-face recognition advantage in the ORE remains unclear. The present study used two behavioral experiments to explore the ORE under supraliminal and subliminal conditions by systematically manipulating the presentation time of the first face. The results showed that the ORE became increasingly significant as the involvement of cognitive resources decreased in the supraliminal condition, and this effect was primarily driven by female-face materials. Under the subliminal condition, the ORE was attenuated overall but persisted for female-face materials. These findings suggest that the ORE is modulated by cognitive resource availability, and that same-race female face recognition may reflect a processing mode consistent with intuitive processing, potentially operating with limited cognitive resources.
