Effect of inaudible 40 Hz binaural beats on attention.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2025. 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
Binaural beat (BB) is a sound stimulus that produces an auditory phenomenon due to the difference in sounds of slightly different frequencies of two tones. In the present study, we aimed to examine the effects of 40 Hz BB on attention using a 40 Hz BB, with a baseline frequency set in the inaudible range, in order to eliminate any influence of the baseline sound, which may have been ignored in previous studies on BB that used the audible range. The experiment included electroencephalograph (EEG) analysis with a 16-channel EEG and assessment of attention with attention network test (ANT). The results revealed no significant difference in the correct response rates between EEG and ANT; however, the reaction time (RT) of ANT was significantly lower in the BB sessions than in the non-BB sessions. The correlation between power spectrum density and the mean RT of correct answers in ANT showed a significant difference only for the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the theta band.
