The effects of investment cost and cues of reward and punishment on cognitive task performance.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Based on an adapted monetary incentive delay task, this study involved 81 participants from China, including 40 from Experiment 1 and 41 from Experiment 2, we conducted behavioral experiments across two distinct gain conditions: one with an unknown expected return and the another with a fixed expected return. Our objective was to examine the effects of investment cost and reward-punishment cues on performance in a simple cognitive task. The findings from Experiment 1 revealed that reward cues significantly promoted individual behavioral performance.In Experiment 2, a significant main effect of investment cost was observed, with individuals facing lower investment costs showing better performance and higher payoffs under equivalent reward-punishment cue conditions.
