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

Most actions we perform in daily life consist of multiple movement elements. In two Simon task experiments, we investigated the impact of stimulus-response compatibility on planning and execution of action sequences. A total of 38 participants were instructed to perform action sequences consisting of multiple key presses (two to four key presses) as response to a left- or right-presented colored stimulus. Within one block, the requested action sequences were of the same length but differed in their spatial features. The results show Simon effects in reaction time for up to four-element long action sequences. The effects became especially apparent when participants were forced to finish action planning before action execution by the implementation of a no-go condition (Experiment 2). Simon effects in movement time emerged for two movement element actions, only. That is, dimensional overlap between spatial features embedded in an action sequence as well as in an imperative stimulus can affect action initiation.
