Extended Data Table 1 Articles reviewed with evidence by claim

From: A synthesis of evidence for policy from behavioural science during COVID-19

  1. Each row represents the articles reviewed by claim. Articles will not add up to the totals as 25 papers were initially reviewed under more than one claim. Of the 747 included after the triage phase (from over 3,000), 174 were later determined not to fit specifically to a claim. Of the 518 that received at least at least one rating, 118 were reviewed under more than one claim (the increase and largest impact was created by separating claims 7i-7v). Of those, 463 articles were deemed to have empirical evidence, which refers to the sample sizes described in the Main Text. Of those articles, 100 were reviewed under more than one claim. Also note that receiving a rating (with or without evidence) did not necessarily mean an article was deemed to validate or refute a claim. For example, though there were eight articles reviewed under claim 10, none of these were deemed to directly address the claim itself.
