The Effect of Planning, Strategy Learning, and Working Memory Capacity on Mental Workload.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In our modern society, planning and problem solving are crucial for handling a wide range of situations. Investigation of the experienced mental workload connected to planning, strategy learning, and working memory capacity is of particular interest for adjusting conditions according to the mental state of the individual. In our study, we examined 21 subjects during a planning and a working memory task. We applied the method of Dual Frequency Head Maps (DFHM) from the electroencephalogram for capturing mental workload objectively. We evaluated the DFHM-workload index and performance data during the learning and main phase of the planning task and linked the results to subjects' working memory capacity. The DFHM-workload index indicated that subjects with higher working memory capacity experienced a gradual decrease in mental workload during strategy learning of the planning task. However, the effect of learning on mental workload disappeared during the main phase.
