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

The present study aimed to explore the potential neural correlates during feedback evaluation during decision-making under risk and ambiguity in MCI. Nineteen individuals with MCI and twenty age-matched HCs were enrolled. Decision-making performance under risk and ambiguity was examined with the modified game of dice task (GDT) and an Iowa gambling task (IGT). Using task-related EEG data, reward positivity (RewP) and feedback P3 (fb-P3) were used to characterize participants' motivation and allocation of cognitive resources. Also, response time and event-related oscillation (ERO) were used to evaluate information processing speed, and the potent of post-feedback information integration and behavioral modulation. MCI patients had lower RewP (p = 0.022) and fb-P3 (p = 0.045) amplitudes in the GDT than HCs. Moreover, the amount and valence of feedback modulated the RewP (p = 0.008; p = 0.017) and fb-P3 (p < 0.001; p < 0.001). In the IGT, in addition to the significantly reduced fb-P3 observed in MCI patients (p = 0.010), the amount and valence of feedback modulated the RewP (p = 0.002; p = 0.020). Furthermore, MCI patients took longer to make decisions (t = 2.15, p = 0.041). The ERO analysis revealed that delta power was reduced in MCI (GDT: p = 0.045; p = 0.011). The findings suggest that, during feedback evaluation when making risky and ambiguous decisions, motivation, allocation of cognitive resources, information processing and neuronal excitability were attenuated in MCI. It implies that neural activity related to decision making was compromised in MCI.
