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

In almost any military occupational specialty soldiers must monitor and react to stimuli, store and process information, make and communicate decisions, while using different in- and output modalities. When assessing influences on performance, e.g., by sleep-deprivation or heat-stress in intervention designs, researchers face a dilemma: They can either examine highly trained military experts in their jobs, thus risking limited generalizability of their results, or use standard measures of cognitive performance with little ecological relevance. To solve this dilemma, we developed a multidimensional job simulation by abstracting a wide range of military jobs into a generic military simulation of a complex workplace (GEMS COW). It had to meet the following requirements: 1) validly and reliably measure the relevant psychological constructs of the abstracted jobs, 2) require only minimal training, and 3) score high acceptance with military specialists. GEMS COW assesses attention, short-term memory (sm), and working memory (wm) in a lifelike setting. Three studies were conducted focusing on psychometric properties (Study 1,
