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 paper investigates the relationship between motor precision, visual feedback, and monetary incentives in two experiments. In both, participants exerted force via a hand dynamometer to maintain force production at identified levels while we manipulated the quality of visual feedback regarding their performance. In Experiment 1, monetary incentives improved motor performance only when visual feedback was provided. In Experiment 2, we simplified target representation by reducing the number of targets, making them easier to distinguish via proprioception and somatosensation. Under these conditions, incentives enhanced performance even without visual feedback. These findings suggest that while visual feedback is key to mediating motivational effects on fine motor control, incentives can also directly enhance performance when targets are easily represented through proprioceptive cues.
