479 of 1106 standardized effects survive your bars · only effects reported as standardized mean differences (d) appear — mixed metrics never share an axis · |d| beyond [−1, +1.5] is pinned to the edge (true value in the tooltip) · every dot links to its source. The shaded corner is the archive’s thesis: the biggest numbers come from the weakest designs.
