The interactive effect of L2 proficiency and interpreting experience on cognitive control.
Article in Journal of psycholinguistic 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 current study investigates whether L2 proficiency and interpreting training duration have independent and interactive effects on cognitive control. The Flanker task was administered among 105 Mandarin-English bilinguals to measure inhibition and conflict monitoring. Multiple stepwise regression analyses of the task performance were conducted using R. The results demonstrated no significant independent effect of L2 proficiency or interpreting training; however, they revealed a significant interaction between L2 proficiency and interpreting training duration. Further simple slope analysis showed that L2 proficiency significantly predicted conflict monitoring only for the bilinguals with 3.5 months of interpreting training. In addition, demographics of age, SES, and IQ were included as covariates in the analyses, and the results showed that IQ significantly predicted inhibitory control, while SES significantly predicted conflict monitoring. These findings indicate that, alongside non-linguistic factors, L2 proficiency and interpreting training duration interactively contribute to cognitive control, shedding light on the origins of bilingual effects and helping to explain the inconsistencies of bilingual advantage research.
