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

It is well known that the semantic features of gender associated with peoples' names are represented in the conceptual semantic system. However, there is scant evidence that such knowledge plays a role in name comprehension, and if so, in which processing stage this occurs. The aim of this study was to provide evidence concerning the time course of the activation of semantic gender in the processing of people's names. We recorded event-related potentials when participants saw picture-name pairs. Compared with the gender congruent condition in which the priming picture and Chinese name were matched on gender, names in the gender incongruent condition showed a mismatch effect in the time windows of 300-500 ms and 500-700 ms. These findings illustrate for the first time the activation of semantic gender when processing people's names, and further specify that this access occurs in the stage of name recognition rather than person identification.
