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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAttentional bias has been demonstrated to a variety of substances. Evidence suggests that fixation time is a more direct measure of attentional bias than response time. The aims of this experiment were to demonstrate that fixation time during the visual probe task is a sensitive and stable measure of cocaine cue attentional bias in cocaine-using adults compared to controls.
designA between-subject, repeated-measures experiment.
settingAn out-patient research unit.
participantsFifteen cocaine using and 15 non-cocaine-using adults recruited from the community. MEASUREMENTS: Participants completed a visual probe task with eye tracking and a modified Stroop during two experimental sessions.
findingsA significant interaction between cue type and group (F = 13.5; P < 0.05) indicated that cocaine users, but not controls, displayed an attentional bias to cocaine-related images as measured by fixation time. There were no changes in the magnitude of attentional bias across sessions (F = 3.4; P > 0.05) and attentional bias correlated with self-reported life-time cocaine use (r = 0.64, P < 0.05). Response time on the visual probe (F = 1.1; P > 0.05) as well as on the modified Stroop (F = 0.1; P > 0.05) failed to detect an attentional bias.
conclusionsFixation time on cocaine-related stimuli (propensity to remain focused on the stimulus) is a sensitive and stable measure of cocaine cue attentional bias in cocaine-using adults.
