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
Attention is crucial for motor performance because it enhances task-relevant processing while suppressing distractions. However, physiological markers of attentional engagement during motor activity remain incompletely understood. The present study investigated how attention modulates sensory gating (SG) along with heart rate variability (HRV) and eye blink rate (EBR) during a visual cue-based typing task. Twenty-five participants performed under three conditions: (1) no typing, (2) free typing, (3) precision typing. The results revealed that higher attention led to a consistent increase in SG across distinct modalities. Particularly, this modulation was observed in higher-order components: N1, P2 in auditory evoked potential; P1 in visual evoked potential; P2, P3 in somatosensory evoked potential. Furthermore, task-related HRV modulation was associated with varying attentional and motor demands, while EBR decreased with increased visual attentional engagement. These findings further clarify SG and autonomic changes during attentional modulation in motor tasks, highlighting their potential for assessing attentional engagement.
