This was/is hard for me to understand. I don’t see why the fact that the distribution of effects is around zero is very revealing. I guess it suggests that there haven’t been big research programs on things which are actually successful.
I guess it also suggests a prior distribution for this recent C60 experiment (which I don’t know anything about) indicating that a big effect is weak evidence. Perhaps this was what you were trying to communicate.

Yes. It’d be interesting if someone could reverse-engineer a reasonable-looking prior distribution from the graph and tell us what it implies about the specific C60 result.
