Relational-responsive music sharing and third-party charitable allocation: a 7-day randomized field experiment on social media.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Music listening and collective musical activity are linked to prosocial outcomes, yet everyday social-media music sharing is little studied. Using the social grooming model, we tested the overall effect of a multicomponent relational-responsive music-sharing bundle on hypothetical charitable allocation; the design did not isolate music or any single component. Methods: In a 7-day, three-arm randomized field experiment on WeChat Moments (583 randomized; mITT Results: The bundle increased allocation over informational posting [ Conclusions: Assignment to the bundle causally raised hypothetical charitable allocation, but the design cannot show music was necessary or uniquely effective, concurrent measurement cannot establish mediator ordering, and the beneficiary shift is a descriptive composition change, not generalized prosociality.
