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 preliminary study investigates the temporal dynamics of multisensory integration in early to mid-adulthood. Five regions of interest (ROIs) were identified, and integration times from 0 to 500 ms were analyzed. The impact of temporal asynchrony on audio-visual integration was assessed through behavioral analysis. Brain topography-based age-related differences in multisensory processing, particularly in the middle-aged group, were observed. Early integration consistently occurs between 200 and 325 ms across age groups. Audio stimuli integrate slower than visual stimuli, with AV integration times falling in between. Delayed integration is observed in audio-leading conditions (A50V), while faster integration occurs in visual-leading conditions (V50A). ERP-based channel selection significantly enhances age group classification accuracy. The random forest classifier achieves 98.3% accuracy using a small set of 13 selected channels during the A50V task. This optimized channel selection improves the ergonomics of EEG-based age group classification and simplifies the clustering process. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of using minimal electrodes and straightforward features for multisensory integration tasks in early to mid-adulthood.
