Effects of Tai Chi on attentional bias in men with methamphetamine use disorder.
Article in NPJ science of learning, 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
This study investigated the rehabilitative effects of a 12-week Tai Chi intervention on attentional bias and prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation in men with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). Forty-eight male participants were randomized into a Tai Chi group or a moderate-intensity treadmill-running control group, of whom 44 completed the study and were included in the final analysis. Attentional bias scores and synchronous PFC activation via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) were assessed using a visual dot-probe paradigm. Compared to the control group, the Tai Chi group exhibited a significant reduction in attentional bias scores. Furthermore, oxy-hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) beta values in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), and frontopolar area (FPA) were significantly better maintained (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that 12 weeks of moderate-intensity Tai Chi is associated with reduced methamphetamine-related attentional bias and better maintained PFC oxy-Hb beta values, which may reflect improved attentional regulation in men during drug rehabilitation.
