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
High-performance motorsport requires precise cognitive regulation and rapid decision-making under extreme dynamic conditions, yet traditional vehicle telemetry alone cannot reveal the psychophysiological mechanisms that influence driving performance. This study presents an integrated neuroengineering framework combining electroencephalography (EEG), and vehicle telemetry to identify objective neural markers of cognitive workload, emotional valence, and mental fatigue in a high-fidelity Formula 1 simulation. 15 participants drove on the Silverstone Circuit in the simulation platform, during which physiological data were continuously recorded and synchronized. Performance tiers were classified using k-means clustering on lap times and trajectory consistency, followed by EEG-based analysis of workload and fatigue indices. Results showed that high-performing drivers exhibited efficient workload modulation, higher alertness, and reduced fatigue compared to lower-performing drivers. A track-specific "cognitive workload profile" was also identified, revealing that technically demanding corners induced higher neural workload, whereas moderate turns corresponded to transient engagement peaks. The findings demonstrate that integrating EEG with telemetry enables objective, data-driven assessment of driver cognitive states and provides a foundation for predictive modeling, driver performance optimization, and advanced simulation-based training systems in high-performance vehicle engineering.
