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

Multiperson rhythmic tasks such as music performance, dance, and chant typically result in a sequence of actions or events that must be coordinated temporally across individuals. Is reciprocity a bidirectional influence among individuals who perform some action or behavior together, necessary for successful synchronization or for enhancing social interactions among those individuals? Reciprocity is considered a fundamental mechanism for promoting prosocial behavior between individuals and in evolutionary biology. We examine group rhythmic auditory tasks in terms of behavioral synchrony (e.g., body movements, tone onsets); physiological synchrony (e.g., cardiac and respiratory rhythms); and emotional synchrony (e.g., shared emotional responses). The paper identifies scientific studies that test whether reciprocity at one level (behavioral, physiological, emotional) is also shared between those individuals at another level. We review distinctions between individual differences and group-level differences that may influence behavioral, physiological, and emotional synchrony. Understanding reciprocal relationships among group members is important for psychological and computational models of how relationships evolve over time in auditory rhythmic behaviors.
