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

Surface extravehicular activity (EVA) is one of the most cognitively demanding actions that astronauts can execute. Decrements in cognitive performance present an important risk to crew safety, yet there is currently insufficient data to characterize the cognitive capabilities required for optimal surface EVA performance. Here, we conducted a cognitive task analysis with 15 astronauts and subject matter experts to characterize the cognitive demands of surface EVA tasks and to identify the risks associated with decrements in cognitive performance during surface EVA. The information gathered from this study identifies the specific cognitive capabilities that astronauts will need for future surface EVA and provides the foundation for (1) prioritized and targeted cognitive performance measurement, (2) EVA simulation design at varying levels of cognitive workload, and (3) the development of technologies that can inform NASA standards and guidelines and EVA planning for future exploration class missions.
