The action-sentence compatibility effect in third person action sentence comprehension.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study investigates the influence of object animacy and perspective priming on the Action-sentence Compatibility Effect (ACE) in third-person action sentences using the sentence sensibility judgment paradigm. Experiment 1 showed that ACE occurred along the front-back axis when the object was an inanimate noun. Experiment 2 revealed that ACE appeared along the left-right axis when the object was a personal name. Experiment 3 demonstrated that ACE aligned with the action's direction under agent priming, while ACE shifted to the opposite direction under patient priming. These findings suggest that participants can flexibly simulate the perspective of an action based on spatial when processing third-person action sentences.
