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

Transitive inference (TI), referring to one's ability to learn that if A > B and B > C, one can infer that A > C, is a form of serial learning that has been tested using a variety of experimental protocols. An element of most of these protocols is the presentation of some form of visual corrective feedback to help inform naïve participants about the nature of the task. Therefore, corrective feedback is often used as a critical tool for experimental TI. To further explore this tool, we presented varying forms/presence of visual feedback during TI performance: corrective, none, and ambiguous. Of the three conditions, presentation of the ambiguous feedback yielded the clearest disruption of TI performance, obvious in measurements of both response accuracy and reaction times. Participants appears to remain engaged with feedback was withheld entirely, but to disengage when presented with ambiguous feedback. Therefore, the choice regarding the form of feedback provided during testing may be critical for information processing of inferences.
