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

People are prone to mental fatigue following prolonged work or study, which can lead to a decline in working memory performance. Addressing the adverse effects of mental fatigue on working memory has become a focus of research attention. Aerobic exercise and music are possible intervention methods. Following confirmation of the impact of mental fatigue on working memory, this study developed three intervention protocols (moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, fast-paced music, and aerobic exercise combined with fast-paced music) to investigate their effects on working memory performance under mental fatigue. The results indicated that following the onset of mental fatigue, both aerobic exercise and fast-paced music were effective in restoring working memory performance impaired by mental fatigue, with this positive effect potentially attributed to alterations in alertness. This study may offer insights for individuals seeking to restore working memory under conditions of mental fatigue.
