Modality switching in children - is there an influence of modality compatibility?
Article in Psychological research, 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
Modality switching plays an important role in children's language processing. During everyday life, especially during school hours, spoken language is often supplemented by visual information, resulting in frequent switching between auditory and visual information processing, as well as between the production of vocal and manual motor responses. Previous studies with adults have shown that modality switching is influenced by modality compatibility. Specifically, switching between incompatible mappings (i.e., auditory-manual and visual-vocal) leads to impaired performance, as reflected in higher mixing and switch costs, compared to switching between compatible mappings (i.e., auditory-vocal and visual-manual). So far, however, data are limited to adults, and underlying cognitive mechanisms are still under debate. The present study contributes to a better understanding by providing the first data from children. In two experiments, children switched between compatible and incompatible modality mappings while deciding whether the presented pictures and tones (Experiment 1; N = 32; M
