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

This study used a dual-task paradigm to explore how stimuli with different semantic links to verbal working memory (WM) content affect attention across sensory channels and time courses. The results show: (1) In the visual channel, stimuli that were semantically the same as or similar to verbal WM content captured attention, with both types producing similar effects. This guidance weakened in the later stage of cognitive processing, possibly due to attentional control. (2) In the auditory channel, stimuli with same or similar semantics did not guide attention. These findings suggest that verbal WM content influences attention differently depending on sensory channel and processing time.
