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 purpose of the present study was to determine whether the Quiet Eye (QE) acquired over time is associated with motor preparation processes by using movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs). Eighteen male, right-handed college students voluntarily participated in this study. Participants performed a dart throw while wearing an eye-tracking system and electrode cap to measure electroencephalogram waveforms (EEG). After performing the dart task, participants were randomly assigned to a Quiet Eye training group (QET) or control training group (CT). Six subjects were excluded due to incomplete electroencephalography (EEG) data. MRCPs were analysed separately within 4 QE categories: High performance score and Long fixation time (HL), High performance score and Short fixation time (HS), Low performance score and Long fixation time (LL), and Low performance score and Short fixation time (LS). Results revealed that although the QET group acquired QE characteristics, MRCPs did not differ between the two groups. Thus, a longer-term experimental design may be necessary to observe EEG changes. Furthermore, QE durations may relate to not only motor programming but also online control.
