Effect of Light on Cognitive Function During a Stroop Task Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.
Article in Phenomics (Cham, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Light modulates human brain function through its effect on circadian rhythms, which are related to several human behavioral and physiological processes. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive optical neuroimaging technique used for recording brain activation during task performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of light on cognitive function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex using fNIRS. The effect of light on cognitive modulation was analyzed using the Stroop task, which was performed on 30 participants under three different light conditions (color temperature 4500 K, 2500 K, and none). The behavioral results indicated that light conditions can easily and effectively modulate the performance of tasks based on the feedback, including the response time and accuracy. fNIRS showed hemodynamic changes in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortices, and the activated brain regions varied under different light conditions. Moreover, light may be regarded as a safe, effective, inexpensive, and accessible tool for modulating human cognitive function.
