The effect of electronic cognitive training with bilateral eye movements and response inhibition on vocational college students' anxiety in a pilot study.

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 pilot study evaluated the efficacy of a novel electronic cognitive training program aimed at alleviating anxiety in vocational college students. The intervention uniquely combined bilateral eye movements, drawing on principles of EMDR, with inhibitory control training. Fifty-four vocational college students with high anxiety symptoms were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 18) or the waiting control group (n = 33). The experimental group received a 1-month CogniMove program training, while the control group received no intervention for the time being. Results indicated that participants in the experimental group exhibited significantly greater reductions in anxiety compared to controls. Longitudinal analyses further revealed that improvements in self-control partially mediated the intervention's anxiolytic effects, highlighting the role of self-regulatory mechanisms. These findings suggest that combining response inhibition training with bilateral eye movements constitutes a promising and accessible approach for reducing anxiety in educational contexts.
