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

Based on previous literature about foreign-language effects on decision-making, we measured neural oscillations involved in valenced feedback encoding and subsequent gambling process in native (Chinese) and foreign (English) languages. Results showed that gambling outcomes, notably positive outcomes, presented in English relative to Chinese increased alpha suppression, suggesting more attentional resources required in foreign-language processing. In the subsequent gambling process, theta synchronization decreased following positive feedback in English relative to that in Chinese, suggesting reduced emotional impacts on subsequent decision-making in the foreign-language context. This language difference correlated with that in alpha activity in positive feedback encoding and with that in the proportion of "play" choices following positive feedback. Exploratory mediation analysis revealed that the emotional significance of positive feedback might fully mediate the indirect effect of processing fluency on subsequent risk-taking behavior. Our findings provide new neural evidence for the established foreign-language effect on the hot-hand fallacy in risk-taking.
