Mental rotation of alphabet characters affects the face-sensitive N170 component.

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
Face-sensitive N170 component of event-related potential is sensitive to face inversion, which has been defined as the face-inversion effect. Moreover, a previous study suggested that similar to the face-inversion effect of the face-sensitive N170 affected by mental rotation of the face, object-related N170 of three-dimensional objects was also affected by the mental rotation of two-dimensional objects. The purpose of the present study was to compare the relationship between face-sensitive N170 during face perception (upright and inverted faces) and object-related N170 during character perception (normal and mirror version for alphabet characters). The results indicated that the latency of N170 for mirror version for alphabet characters was significantly longer than that for normal version for alphabet characters, and the latency of N170 for inverted faces was significantly longer than that for upright faces. Therefore, the results of the present study clearly indicate that face-sensitive N170 components are related to the mental rotation of normal and mirror version for alphabet characters. These results suggest the novel possibility that face-sensitive N170 latency can be used as a biomarker for mental rotation and that mental rotation is related to the fusiform area as a neural generator of N170 in the human brain.
