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

From early development, visual and sensorimotor representations of our hands are continually linked, allowing to develop a bodily self-representation. Here, we investigated the neural mechanisms of bodily self-identity discrimination, combining electroencephalography with fast periodic visual stimulation. In two experiments, participants' self-hand images appeared as oddball stimuli among others' hands. To control for statistical regularity and familiarity, oddball hand images could belong to a stranger (Exp1) or the partner (Exp2). In a third behavioral experiment, we verified participants could explicitly detect the presence of the self-hand in the sequence. Results revealed a neural marker for automatic hand identity discrimination, with greater responses in egocentric than allocentric perspective only for self-hand images. This interaction effect emerged over occipital, consistently with the visual nature of the task, and also over fronto-central regions, compatibly with the involvement of a sensorimotor network. These findings support that self-hand processing relies on associating visual and sensorimotor representations.
