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

Musical experiences-specifically in terms of how we prefer or remember them-differ among listeners, even when we listen to the same piece of music. Recent studies have suggested that spontaneous motor tempo (SMT), which refers to the pace of repeated body movements, predicts preferred music tempo. However, the question of whether SMT is related to recalled music tempo remains unanswered. We investigated whether SMT is related to recalled music tempo. The participants in this research performed three tasks-recall (no interval), recall (8-s interval), and preference-in which they adjusted music tempos under different conditions. SMT was assessed on the basis of a finger tapping task. Linear mixed models revealed that while the original music tempo predicted adjustments across tasks, SMT significantly predicted the adjusted tempo in the recall (8-s interval) and preference tasks but not in the recall task (no interval). These results suggest that the rehearsal of music tempo may be influenced by SMT.
