Meta-analytic estimate (via random effects meta-analysis) of the effect of accuracy prompts on sharing of false news across the 20 experiments analyzed in this paper. The coefficient on the condition dummy (which captures the effect of the treatment on sharing of false headlines) and 95% confidence interval are shown for each study, and the meta-analytic estimate is shown with the red dotted line and blue diamond. We find no significant heterogeneity in effect size across studies, Cochran’s Q test, Q(19) = 23.33, p = 0.223, I2 = 18.5% (k = 20 independent studies).
