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

Painting comes from the desire to create through movement and color a non-existent image, making it real. To create a new pictorial composition, a close harmony between the creative process and the motor act is necessary. The technique represents the ability to generate motor actions and to interpret the "language" of colors and shapes. Creativity is the ability, through imaginative, cognitive, and perceptive sensory skills, to transfer creative work on canvas. The action itself is, therefore, a disappearing ghost of creativity; leaving the result of the pictorial work. In this article, starting from the reflections of those who preceded us, we will discuss the intersection between neuroscience and art by discussing action and multisensory perception in painting. We propose an interdisciplinary link between art, neuroscience, and technology that can open up new research directions and artistic methodologies. The final goal of our perspective is to highlight the process behind the creation of a painting highlighting how action, multisensory perception and new technologies interact in the creative process.
