Holistic and Analytic Attention in Infancy: A Cross-Cultural Study in Sweden and Zimbabwe.
Article in Infancy : the official journal of the International Society on Infant Studies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This pre-registered eye-tracking study assesses whether there are differences in infants' attention allocation across diverse cultural contexts while taking several social-environmental factors into account. More specifically, we assess whether 9-month-old infants (n = 338; 166 girls, 172 boys) show holistic or analytic viewing when they are presented with naturalistic images, including 32 real-world images (8 outdoor and 8 indoor scenes from two cultural contexts). Infants came from families living in Uppsala, Sweden (Swedish n = 178, Arab n = 1, Bengali n = 1, Finnish n = 1) and Harare, Zimbabwe (Shona n = 136, Karanga n = 4, Malawian n = 1, Ndebele n = 1, Chewa n = 1, Hwesa n = 1, Zambian n = 1). Results demonstrate that attention allocation is different in these cultures in infancy, but that each culture has a unique pervasive, and dynamic attentional style that includes a mix of holistic and analytic components.
