Electroencephalography in motor decision-making: a scoping review in athletes.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: The application of electroencephalography to investigate the neural mechanisms of motor decision-making in athletes is a rapidly evolving field. However, significant heterogeneity in experimental paradigms, neural metrics, and sample definitions currently hampers theoretical synthesis and practical translation. Methods: This study conducted a systematic scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Literature inclusion was strictly governed by the population-concept-context framework, focusing on athletic populations. Results: Based on 29 studies, we propose a three-level cognitive hierarchy model that abstracts motor decision-making into internal planning, external perception, and response inhibition. We show that expert advantage comes from dynamically contextually optimized neural resources, not a single "neural efficiency" profile. We also identify fundamental tension between ecological validity and methodological validity of the current evidence. Discussion: To bridge the gap from neural correlates to behavioral intervention, we further propose a bio-computational "assessment-to-intervention" pipeline. This pipeline integrates sensitive neural markers, computational cognitive modeling, and personalized intervention, aiming to provide an actionable framework for neuroscience-informed precision cognitive training in sports. This review not only offers a unified theoretical lens for understanding motor decision-making but also charts a concrete translational pathway for its future application.
