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

Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (GTS) is a developmental disorder. Empirical studies and an emerging cognitive framework on GTS suggest that GTS is a disorder of abnormally strong 'perception-action binding'. Theoretical considerations imply that the effectiveness of long-established behavioral interventions might be related to a normalization of increased binding in GTS. This has not been tested yet. We examined the effect of a standardized Comprehensive Behavior Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in N = 21 adolescent GTS patients and N = 21 healthy controls on perception-action binding in an inhibitory control paradigm. Prior to CBIT, GTS patients showed compromised performance compared to controls, specifically when inhibitory control was triggered by uni-modal visual compared to bi-modal stimuli. After CBIT intervention, GTS patient's performance was at the same level as healthy controls. This is supported by a Bayesian data analysis. CBIT specifically affected inhibitory control in a condition where reconfigurations of perception-action bindings are necessary to perform inhibitory control. A power of 95% was evident for these effects. CBIT reduces increased 'binding' between perception and action in GTS and thereby increases the ability to perform response inhibition. The results are the first to provide insights as to why CBIT is effective by relating elements of this intervention to overarching cognitive theoretical frameworks on perception-action bindings.
