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

This study explores the neural underpinnings of motor skill learning and its transfer across limbs. In a randomized controlled trial, 48 right-handed individuals underwent training on either simple or complex motor tasks using their left or right hand. After completing 10 blocks of training, we assessed skill acquisition and transfer, with a 64-channel EEG capturing brain activity. Results from 47 participants indicated that task complexity and trained hand (dominant or non-dominant) significantly influenced motor skill acquisition and transfer. Notably, complex tasks enhanced alpha and theta coherence in motor and sensorimotor areas, suggesting shared neural mechanisms for skill acquisition and interlimb transfer in complex tasks. These insights shed new light on the neural correlates of acquiring and transferring motor skills, emphasizing the importance of task complexity and trained hand in these processes.
