Evidence for unconscious regulation of performance in fatigue.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Since fatigue is prevalent in modern societies, it is necessary to clarify the neural mechanisms of fatigue. The regulation of performance through fatigue sensation is one of the mechanisms that decreases performance in fatigue. However, it is unknown whether subjective feeling of fatigue is necessary for the regulation of performance. Here, we examined whether decreased performance occurs without increased fatigue sensation through the experiment which was designed to test if fatigue can be learned unconsciously. Healthy male volunteers performed a fatigue-inducing hand-grip task for 10 min while viewing a target image presented without awareness. On the next day, they viewed a control and the target images presented with awareness and the neural activity caused by viewing the images was measured using magnetoencephalography. Results showed the level of fatigue sensation was not altered but grip-strength was decreased by viewing the target image on the second day. The level of beta band power in Brodmann's area 31 was increased by viewing the target image and this increase was negatively associated with the decrease of grip-strength caused in the hand-grip task. These findings demonstrated that fatigue can be learned unconsciously and that there is a mechanism to decrease performance without fatigue sensation.
