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

Selective attention requires fast and accurate distractor suppression. We investigated if broadband high-frequency activity (BHA; 80-150 Hz), indicative of local neuronal population dynamics in early sensory cortices, indexes rapid processing of distracting information. In a first experiment we tested whether BHA distinguishes targets from distracting information in a visual search paradigm using tilted gratings as targets and distractors. In a second experiment, we examined whether BHA distractor processing can be trained by statistical regularities. In both experiments, BHA preceded the target enhancement (NT) and distractor suppression (PD; 1-40 Hz) event-related field (ERF) components and distinguished between targets and distractors. Only the BHA but not ERF component amplitude correlated with participants' performance and was higher for lateral distractors versus lateral targets. Furthermore, BHA predicted the strength of the PD. These results indicate that BHA initiates stimulus discrimination via distractor suppression.
