Reducing Speed and Sight: How Adaptive Is Post-Error Slowing?
Article in Neuron, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
After errors, decision boundaries change, which results in post-error slowing of decisions. Purcell and Kiani (2016) report simultaneously decreased sensitivity to sensory information counteracts post-error increases in accuracy. Early post-error adjustments reflect a general orienting reflex rather than goal-directed adaptation.
