The assessment of body representation in adults through computer-based tasks.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the use of computer-based body representation tasks in an adult sample, considering the role of demographic variables and providing correction indices for clinical practice. Method: Three hundred sixty-six healthy participants were assessed in person with a computer-based battery that included the Hand Laterality Task (HLT) to assess action-oriented body representation (aBR), the Frontal Body Evocation Task (FBET) to assess nonaction-oriented body representation (NaBR), and two corresponding control tasks (i.e., the Object Laterality Task and the Christmas Tree Task), to disentangle the effect of cognitive functions required to perform the tasks but independent of body representation processing. In addition to the primary cohort, 305 healthy participants performed similar body representation and control tasks in an unsupervised web-based version, and a subgroup of these ( Results: Concerning the body representation tasks, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age and sex significantly influenced aBR accuracy and response time (i.e., the HLT), while the NaBR accuracy and response time (i.e., the FBET) were significantly influenced only by age. A correction grid was constructed from the derived linear equation to adjust raw scores according to demographic variables, and a percentile distribution of adjusted scores was provided for each task. Correlation analyses showed significant and strong correlations between the laboratory-based and web-based versions of the tasks ( Discussion: The provided normative data can be helpful for clinical and research purposes, and we discuss the potential benefits of their use.
