The Role of the N170 in Linking Stimuli to Feedback-Effects of Stimulus Modality and Feedback Delay.
Article in Psychophysiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
With increasing feedback delay, feedback processing appears to shift from the striatum to the hippocampus. In addition, higher-order sensory areas might be involved in bridging a temporal gap between stimulus and feedback by reactivating the representation of the feedback-predicting stimulus during feedback processing. We hypothesized that the feedback-locked N170, an occipito-temporal event-related potential (ERP) component linked to higher-order visual processing, is more pronounced when delayed feedback is provided for choices between visual compared to auditory stimuli. 35 subjects completed a probabilistic feedback learning task with immediate (1 s) and delayed (7 s) monetary feedback for choices between visual or auditory stimuli. Participants successfully learned to choose the more rewarding stimuli irrespective of stimulus modality. For the N170 amplitude over the right hemisphere, we found an interaction between feedback timing and the modality of the chosen stimulus. Only for delayed feedback, the N170 was more pronounced for choices between visual than auditory stimuli. Moreover, in this condition, the N170 amplitude particularly reflected the reward prediction error (PE), with larger amplitudes for positive PEs and lower amplitudes for negative PEs. This suggests that the N170 reflects feedback-locked reactivations in higher-order visual areas mediated by the reward PE. While these effects need to be studied further, we discuss the N170 as a counterpart to the feedback-related negativity (FRN) regarding interacting influences of feedback valence, feedback timing, and PE.
