Concreteness Effects of Constituents in Naming Mandarin Compounds.
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
The present study aims to use the concreteness effect to provide a detailed investigation of how Mandarin compounds are represented in the mental lexicon, that is, whether abstract and concrete morpheme constituents can influence the retrieval of Mandarin compounds during production. Our study investigated the question of the representation of Mandarin compound words through a picture naming task where forty-one participants were recruited. The behavioral outcomes indicated that there was a constituent concrete effect in Mandarin compounds due to the naming latencies for concrete compounds with two concrete constituents (cc condition) were much faster than concrete compounds with two abstract constituents (aa condition), which provided support for the decompositional model where constituents play important roles in the production of Mandarin compounds.
