Effects of source language duration on note-decoding effectiveness in novice interpreters' consecutive interpreting.
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 examines how source language (SL) duration affects note-decoding effectiveness in consecutive interpreting (CI) among novice interpreters. Grounded in Gile’s Effort Model, we used a mixed-methods within-subjects design with 30 undergraduate interpreting students who interpreted three English segments of different durations (80s, 140s, 200s). Results showed a non-linear effect of SL duration on note-decoding effectiveness, with the sharpest performance decline occurring between the 80s and 140s durations. Longer segments were associated with higher interpreting anxiety, which correlated more strongly with performance decline at extended durations. Qualitative data corroborated these findings and revealed challenges including cognitive overload and note-structure breakdown. The results provide empirical validation of Gile’s tightrope hypothesis for Phase Two of CI and offer practical implications for interpreter training and assessment, particularly regarding duration-sensitive pedagogy and standardized duration classifications in CI examinations.
