Expectancy effects in feedback processing are explained primarily by time-frequency delta not theta.
Article in Biological psychology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
The roles of outcome valence and expectancy in feedback processing have been investigated as important factors modulating event-related potential (ERP) measures including the feedback negativity (FN) and P300, but results have been inconsistent. Recent work from our group has shown that processes underlying the FN and P300 are better represented as separable processes in the theta (3-7Hz) and delta (0-3Hz) ranges using time-frequency analysis. The current study evaluated the modulation of time-domain FN and P300 and time-frequency theta and delta to outcome valence and expectancy in a gambling feedback task paradigm. Results revealed that the FN was sensitive to valence but not expectancy, and that valence effects were driven by loss-sensitive theta and gain-sensitive delta. Alternatively, the P300 was sensitive to the expectedness of outcomes but only for gain trials, and these expectancy differences were explained by time-frequency delta not theta. These results add to a growing body of research showing that time-frequency measures reflect separable processes underlying time-domain components, where theta is more sensitive to primary task features and less sensitive to secondary features while delta is sensitive to primary and more complex, secondary task features.
