The effect of 8-week Tai Chi training on emotional regulation in female college students: an ERP study of N2 and P3 under a modified oddball paradigm.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Emotion regulation is vital for psychological well-being. Exercise can enhance regulation via attentional and cognitive control, with event-related potentials (ERPs) offering neural insights. Tai Chi benefits mood and stress, yet its neurophysiological effects remain unclear. This study examined the impact of 8-week Tai Chi training on N2 and P3 components of emotional processing in female college students using a modified oddball paradigm. Method: Forty healthy female college students were randomly assigned to an 8-week Tai Chi group ( Results: After 8 weeks, the Tai Chi group exhibited significantly shorter reaction times compared to the control group ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates that 8 weeks of Tai Chi training modulated both neural and behavioral responses to emotional stimuli in healthy female college students, suggesting potential benefits for attentional processes in emotional regulation, though neural-behavioral links require further investigation.
