This paper provides an assessment of the most recent empirical research into the effectiveness of argument visualization tools. In particular, the methodological quality of the reported experiments and the conclusions drawn from them are critically examined. Their validity is determined and the methodological differences between them are clarified. The discrepancies in intended effects of use especially are investigated. Subsequently, methodological recommendations for future experiments are given.
