Stressors affect human motor timing during spaceflight.
Article in NPJ microgravity, 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
Crewed outer-space missions require adequate motor capacity among astronauts, whose sensorimotor system is disturbed by microgravity. Stressors other than microgravity, e.g., sleep loss, confinement, and high workload, characterize the living experience in space and potentially affect motor performance. However, the evidence of these stressors remains elusive. We recruited twelve taikonauts from the China Space Station to conduct a motor timing task that minimized the effect of microgravity on motor performance. Participants showed a remarkable increase in motor timing variance during spaceflight, compared to their pre- and post-flight performance and that of ground controls. Model-based analysis revealed that their timing deficits were driven by increased central noise instead of impaired motor execution. Our study provides evidence that nonspecific stressors can profoundly affect motor performance during spaceflight.
