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

The use of new technologies has opened the field to numerous studies regarding their impact on cognition. While many studies have suggested that paper presents an advantage over screens, the impact of the medium during local-global visual attentional processes has never been investigated. Visual processing is indeed characterized by a global advantage (i.e., faster global than local processing) and by global interference (i.e., interference from global information during local processing). We designed a task to assess whether global-local processing could be modulated by the type of medium. Owing to the frequent variations in paper and screen presentations encountered in daily life, we also studied differences in inclination between screen and paper. The results revealed an interaction between inclination and global-local processes. Global interference was more pronounced when the medium was tilted, whereas similar global and local interference effects were observed when the medium was flat. There was no effect of the medium
