1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As embodied cognition takes root in the cognitive sciences (e.g., Borghi, 2007), motor affordance factors become increasingly important to consider when designing experiments, selecting stimuli, and controlling sources of variance. Previous measurements of motor affordance factors have relied on subjective ratings (e.g., "Could you easily mime the action …"; Magnié et al., 2003). In the current study we used a behavioral measure-mime initiation latency (MIL)-the time that it takes for a participant to initiate pantomimes in response to photographs of manipulable objects. We found MIL was moderately correlated with conceptually related motor variables but less or not correlated with psycholinguistic variables (e.g., visual complexity) and conceptually unrelated motor variables (e.g., grasp use concordance). Results from correlation and regression analyses supported MIL as a behavioral motor affordance norm. Mime Initiation Latency for Object Photographs: A Behavioral Motor Norm.
