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
Susceptibility to misinformation-related content threatens democratic processes, yet the roles of individual authoritarianism components remain understudied. We report two independent Romanian studies conducted during the 2024-2025 electoral cycle, examining associations of aggression, conventionalism/traditionalism, and submission/conservatism with two outcomes: accuracy in identifying false news (Study 1, N = 427, RWA-15) and endorsement of conspiracy claims drawn from Romanian electoral discourse (Study 2, N = 170, VSA-6). Adjusted regression models showed that authoritarian submission was the strongest negative correlate of false-news accuracy in Study 1 (β = -0.411,
