Neural effects of viewing children's faces on mental fatigue: a magnetoencephalography study.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We examined whether the recovery from fatigue could be facilitated by viewing the children's faces. Seventeen healthy mothers with child or children over 6 years old participated in our experiment. After performing a 2-back task for 40 min, they viewed the pictures of children's and adult's faces in the target and control conditions, respectively. The target and control conditions were performed on the separate days in a two-crossover design. Neural activity caused by viewing the children's faces was recorded using magnetoencephalography and electrocardiography was performed to assess the index of heart rate variability (low-frequency component power/high-frequency component power ratio, LF/HF) reflecting fatigue. The subjective level of mental fatigue sensation and LF/HF ratio was decreased after viewing the children's faces and the overactivation of the visual cortex caused by performing the 2-back task, assessed by the alteration of alpha band power in the visual cortex, was attenuated by viewing the children's faces, suggesting that viewing the children's faces affected the time course of mental fatigue after performing the 2-back task.
