An examination of sustained attention during complex multitasking scenarios.

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
We report results from two experiments that examined the time course of vigilance decrements during a demanding multitasking scenario. Specifically, we implemented a novel paradigm in two experiments in which a total of 123 participants performed a go-no-go target detection continuous performance test (CPT) task simultaneously with a driving-based tracking task. Growth curve analyses of the temporal trajectories of performance of both tasks revealed vigilance decrement effects that varied across CPT and tracking measures, and between different target presentation rate conditions. Our findings highlight the importance of executive function, arousal, and motivation in such dual-task performance and support a multifaceted approach combining elements from the cognitive overload, cognitive underload, and opportunity-cost models of vigilance decrements. Insights from this work can inform the design and development of complex operator-system interfaces and thus increase safety and effectiveness for operators during mission-critical situations.
