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

introductionDetrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a well-established method to evaluate scaling indices of time series, which categorize the dynamics of complex systems. In the literature, DFA has been used to study the fluctuations of reaction time Y(n) time series, where n is the trial number.

methodsHerein we propose treating each reaction time as a duration time that changes the representation from operational (trial number) time n to event (temporal) time t, or X(t). The DFA algorithm was then applied to the X(t) time series to evaluate scaling indices. The dataset analyzed is based on a Go-NoGo shooting task that was performed by 30 participants under low and high time-stress conditions in each of six repeated sessions over a 3-week period.

resultsThis new perspective leads to quantitatively better results in (1) differentiating scaling indices between low versus high time-stress conditions and (2) predicting task performance outcomes.

conclusionWe show that by changing from operational time to event time, the DFA allows discrimination of time-stress conditions and predicts performance outcomes.
