Predictive processing in L2 learners: contributions of cognitive and affective factors.
Article in Psychological research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigated the influence of cognitive (working memory, inhibitory control) and affective (mood) factors on semantic prediction in second language (L2) learners. While predictive processing was observed in first language (L1) speakers, albeit in later regions. it was largely absent at the group level among L2 learners. However, individual differences played a significant role in modulating prediction in both groups. In L2 learners, predictive effects were stronger among those with higher proficiency and better inhibitory control, whereas negative mood was more detrimental to prediction than positive mood was facilitative. For L1 speakers, inhibitory control, but not working memory, enhanced prediction, particularly in the presence of positive mood. These findings contribute novel insights by integrating affective and cognitive factors in explaining semantic prediction in L1 speakers and L2 learners.
