1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to explore the nature of shifts of spatial attention induced by object words with spatial associations. Specifically, we presented participants with cue words that denote objects that typically appear in high or low places (e.g., "moon," "mouse") at the center of the screen. After the presentation of the cue words, participants were asked to identify a target letter ("p" or "q") at the top or bottom of the screen. Although the cues did not predict target locations (50 % valid) and were irrelevant to the task, the ERP analysis showed larger N1 amplitudes for congruent trials (i.e., the target letter's location was congruent with the typical location of the word's referent) and larger P3 amplitudes for incongruent trials. The present study extended previous studies by showing that the perception of object words could affect the processing of subsequent spatial stimuli at multiple stages (i.e., sensory processing and higher-level cognitive processing).
