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 processing of morphological information during Chinese word memorization was investigated in the present study. Participants were asked to study words presented to them on a computer screen in the studying phase and then judge whether presented words were old or new in the test phase. In addition to parent words (i.e. the words studied in the study phase), the test phase also included conjunction lures (constructed out of morphemes in the parent words) and new words (constructed out of entirely new morphemes). Three kinds of words (i.e. subordinate compounds, coordinative compounds, and single-morpheme words) were involved. In both two experiments, performance on lures worsened when both parent words and lures were coordinative compounds, compared to the condition when both were subordinate compounds. The different performance between compounds with different compounding structures in the test phase suggests the involvement of morphological information in the memorization of Chinese compound words. The spreading activation theory for memory and the interactive activation model for the processing of morphologically complex words were referred to for interpreting the results.
