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

Game metrics have become a staple component to understanding how players interact with various aspects of the game and whether they comprehend the game mechanics. Despite their intrinsic value, few studies have used this type of objective instrumentation to examine whether users display unique gameplay styles. We used latent class analysis with seven game metric indicators from a robotics game to ascertain whether there are distinct patterns of gameplay. We also validated gameplay styles using measures of persistence and intensity of play. Four gameplay styles were obtained including
