Different Structural Types of Formulaic Sequences and Oral Fluency: A Follow-up Study.
Article in Journal of psycholinguistic 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
In order to probe into the potential to improve students' fluency by using formulaic sequences (FSs), many studies explored the relationship between FSs and oral fluency. However, their findings are sometimes conflicting, without adequate explanations. Yu's (Front Psychol 13:1012225, 2022) study suggested the reason to be that processing advantages of FSs might be neutralized or weakened. This follow-up study takes the structural type into consideration, and explores why FSs sometimes lose processing advantages in oral fluency, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate 120 spoken narratives. Results revealed that despite the small number of fixed FSs, they still mattered more to speakers' speed and breakdown fluency, compared with open-ended FSs. Besides, only the proportion of fixed FSs was positively related to speed, and only the variety of open-ended FSs was negatively related to repairing. The findings suggest that open-ended FSs sometimes fail to promote speed or breakdown fluency, and corrected or reused open-ended FSs could even impair repair fluency. Theoretical and pedagogical implications have been provided accordingly.
