EEG activities and connectivities associated with surtitle presentation during live opera viewing: an exploratory analysis of cognitive absorption.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Characterizing brain activities underlying text availability in an ecologically valid context and identifying whether aspects of these activities are influenced by one's state of cognitive absorption (CA) are important yet unexplored lines of research in cognitive neuroscience. This study investigated the oculometric behavior and electroencephalographic (EEG) activities during periods with vs. without surtitle presentation in 25 human subjects while they viewed a live theatrical stage performance, and further explored relationships with self-reported CA. Behaviorally, subjects anticipated the appearance of text, and oriented their gaze toward them when they were present regardless of their level of CA . Neurophysiologically, text presence/absence was differentiated primarily by EEG theta activities and beta connectivities in or between visuospatial processing areas. Importantly, text presence-associated increases in theta activity in the frontal eye field and beta connectivity between the precuneus and the primary visual cortex did not significantly vary with self-reported CA, suggesting that these processes may support the automatic allocation of attention to available text.
