In two pre-registered experiments (hypothesizing nulls), we found that under no circumstances was the truth sandwich format more effective, not even after a 2-week delay or in subgroups with greater misinformation belief.

Originally mentioned on CNN, the truth sandwich is often said to be superior to other correction formats. There is no empirical evidence to support this. The best part about being a scientist is you can rigorously test these claims.
