Neurocognitive mechanisms underlying multiplication and subtraction performance in adults and skill development in children: A scoping review.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Many studies investigating the brain correlates of arithmetic processing have either focused on a single operation (e.g., addition), or have averaged brain activation across different operations, a practice that washes away operation-specific effects. This review focuses on the processing of two fundamental operations (i.e., multiplication and subtraction), summarizes recent neuroimaging evidence on the role of the verbal and quantity mechanisms that underlie adults' performance on these operations, and covers the role of these mechanisms in explaining longitudinal gains in typically developing children. Overall, evidence supports that recruitment of verbal mechanisms is important for explaining single-digit multiplication performance and gains, whereas recruitment of quantity mechanisms is crucial for explaining performance and gains in single-digit subtraction.
