Feedback matters: EEG correlates of empathy involved in the naturalistic communication of emotions.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Empathy involves the processing of complex information related to dynamic interactions between the empathizer and target. One neural signature of empathy is the suppression of electroencephalographic mu rhythm (8-13 Hz) over the sensorimotor region. It is important to consider that few researchers have studied the effects of empathizer feedback on empathy and its underlying neural mechanism, and most previous research has lacked ecological validity due to standardized emotional stimuli and constraints on the experiment environment. Our objective in this study was to investigate the means by which empathizer feedback influences one's own empathy in naturalistic social situations. Our results revealed that empathizer feedback decreases empathic accuracy but does not affect the emotional contagion nor the emotional intensity of the empathizer. We also found that the ability to accurately infer sadness is hindered by empathizer feedback. Empathizers presented lower alpha activity in the sensorimotor cortical areas only while receiving sad narratives and not providing feedback. This study contributes to the emerging research on the influence of empathizer feedback in naturalistic social settings.
