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

Inhibitory control is crucial for humans to select useful information from the complex environment. The bilateral DLPFC, which is implicated in inhibitory control, was activated under psychological stress. The present study investigated the influence of acute psychological stress on inhibitory control process using the color-word Stroop task. The stress was induced by the Trier Social Stress Task (TSST). After TSST (stress group) or placebo TSST (control group), the male participants performed a color-word Stroop task, and their brain activity was measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The results showed that elevated subjective stress, heart rate, and salivary cortisol were found in the stress than control groups, indicating that the stress had been induced successfully. Reduced RT Stroop effect (RT
