Association Between Machine Translation Post-Editing and Post-Editors' Cognition: A Three-Level Meta-Analysis Based on Eye-Tracking Evidence.
Review in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Prior research has overlooked interdependent effect sizes and moderating factors between machine translation post-editing (MTPE) and the post-editor's cognition. To fill this void, the study employs a three-level meta-analysis. A total of 19 high-quality studies, with an average quality score of 8.158, were included in the analysis. These included studies encompass 193 effect sizes and 492 participants. The findings indicate a positive link between MTPE and the post-editor's cognition (r = 0.474), suggesting higher levels of cognitive engagement in post-editing tasks. Among the moderators examined, several study-level characteristics were associated with variability in effect sizes. These characteristics include whether PE attitudes were reported, text types, cognition measurement tools, and cognitive indicators. In contrast, studies that reported MTPE attitudes showed a different pattern of effect sizes. Overall, this study provides rigorous evidence on the multifaceted impacts of MTPE on translators' cognition. It also clarifies how dependent effect sizes should be modeled in translation cognition research.
