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 Colavita visual dominance effect refers to the phenomenon in which tend to respond only or preferentially to visual stimuli of bimodal audiovisual stimulus. Previous evidence has indicated that sensory dominance can be modulated by top-down expectation. However, it remains unclear how expectations directed toward a single sensory modality influence Colavita visual dominance at the electrophysiology level. Using event-related potential (ERP) measurements, we investigated how modality expectation modulates sensory dominance by manipulating the different unimodal target probabilities used in previous related Colavita studies. For the behavioral results, a significantly larger visual dominance effect was found when the modality expectation was directed to the visual sensory condition (40% V:10% A). Further ERPs results revealed that the mean amplitude of P2 (200-250 ms) in the central-parietal region was larger in the visual precedence auditory response (V_A) type than in the auditory precedence visual response (A_V) type when modality expectation was directed to visual sensory stimuli (40% V:10% A). In contrast, the mean amplitude of N2 (290-330 ms) in the frontal region was larger for the V_A type than in the A_V type when modality expectation was directed to the auditory sensory stimuli (10% V:40% A). Additionally, for the A_V type N1 (150-170 ms) in the frontal region was larger in visual versus auditory expectation condition. Overall, the study tentatively suggested that increasing unimodal target probability may lead to greater top-down expectation direct to target modality stimulus, and then sensory dominance emerges in the late phase when participant response to visual stimuli of bimodal audiovisual stimulus.
