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
Objective: Despite the prevalence of music listening among individuals performing tasks that require sustained attention, the impact of various components of rhythmic auditory stimulation on concentration remains inconclusive. The aim of this pilot study was to determine the efficacy of a novel specific rhythmic auditory stimulation (SAS) on attentional performance, including vigilance, orientation, and executive control, in healthy adults in comparison with other auditory stimulation and silence conditions. Methods: This block-randomized study included 27 male and 27 female participants with a mean age of 31.52 years. Participants underwent the Attention Network Test (ANT) and the Frankfurt Attention Inventory (FAIR) under three auditory stimulation conditions: SAS, traditional rhythmic auditory stimulation (TAS), and a control condition of silence (CON). To assess potential sex differences in attentional abilities in response to auditory stimuli, nine participants were grouped into each sex-specific condition. All data collected were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that SAS resulted in significantly different mean reaction times, alerting and orienting effects on the ANT and P scores, and the percentage of Q and C scores on the FAIR test compared to TAS and CON ( Conclusion: It is suggested that the new auditory stimuli used in this study may be more effective in improving attention than TAS or CON in healthy adults, irrespective of sex.
