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

Visual selection for external stimuli, guided by a cue that prioritizes goal-related as well as feature matching stimuli, is modulated by stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) after the cue. However, whether or not the modulation effect of SOA can occur when attention is directed to internal representations in working memory remains unclear. In two experiments, we explored the influences of SOA after a retrospective cue (retro-cue) that simultaneously incurs goal-directed and stimulus-driven priority on internal attention to working memory representations during orientation (Experiment 1) and color (Experiment 2) reproducing tasks. Results of the two experiments suggested that SOA modulated goal-directed attention to working memory representations, with greater goal-directed priority when SOA was longer. Stimulus-driven attention was possibly modulated by SOA, as was suggested by the SOA modulation effect on stimulus-driven priority in Experiment 1, but not in Experiment 2. This study uncovered the temporal dynamics of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention to working memory representations, suggesting that the SOA effect on goal-directed attentional priority is robust across different feature domains.
