Respiratory Synchrony and Individual Differences Causally Influence Dyadic Interpersonal Coordination.
Article in Psychophysiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Human interpersonal coordination can yield synchronization at multiple timescales, including behavioral (auditory-motor) and physiological (respiratory and cardiac) levels; yet the causal relationship among these levels is poorly understood. We examine dyadic synchronization at behavioral (tone onsets) and physiological (respiratory and cardiac) levels in music performance, a rhythmic task that requires fine temporal coordination among performers. By perturbing dyads' auditory-motor synchrony or their respiration during joint melody perception and production, we demonstrate the directional influence from dyadic respiration synchrony to behavioral synchrony. Respiratory perturbations impaired both dyadic respiratory and behavioral synchrony, whereas auditory-motor perturbations disrupted only dyadic behavioral synchrony. Furthermore, individual differences influenced dyadic synchrony: partners with similar spontaneous production rates achieved better behavioral synchrony in joint production, and partners with similar resting heart rates exhibited stronger cardiac synchrony in joint production. These findings reveal directional entrainment processes between respiratory and behavioral synchrony, and highlight the pivotal role of individual differences in interpersonal coordination.
