The integration of self-efficacy and response-efficacy in decision making.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The belief that we can exert an influence in our environment is dependent on distinct components of perceived control. Here, we investigate the neural representations that differentially code for self-efficacy (belief in successfully executing a behavior) and response-efficacy (belief that the behavior leads to an expected outcome) and how such signals may be integrated to inform decision-making. Participants provided confidence ratings related to executing a behavior (self-efficacy), and the potential for a rewarding outcome (response-efficacy). Computational modeling was used to measure the subjective weight of self-efficacy and response-efficacy while making decisions and to examine the neural mechanisms of perceived control computation. While participants factored in both self-efficacy and response-efficacy during decision-making, we observed that integration of these two components was dependent on neural responses within the vmPFC, OFC and striatum. Further, the dlPFC was observed to assign importance to self-efficacy and response-efficacy in specific trials, while dACC computed the trade-off between both components, taking into account individual differences. These findings highlight the contributions of perceived control components in decision-making, and identify key neural pathways involved in computing perceived control.
