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

Cognition research in spaceflight and analog environments has grown significantly over the last two decades. Although there is evidence that human cognition undergoes changes in many areas, results are inconsistent overall, and several cognitive functions are still underexplored. Besides the inherent methodological limitations of human investigations in these environments, a major flaw in current research concerns the exiguity of systematic investigations of theory-relevant effects. In the present work, an overview of topics and issues in cognitive research in spaceflight and analog environments is provided, organized by cognitive domains, highlighting gaps and challenges. These issues put in the picture the necessary steps for advancing current knowledge in the field and developing an overarching framework that would make countermeasure development a theory-based process.
