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
The non-selective processing hypothesis for bilinguals posits that during the processing of the target language, the lexical information of the non-target language is concurrently activated. Nonetheless, the lexical representation of bilinguals in both languages and the temporal dynamics of lexical information representation remain unclear. Here, we utilized fMRI in Experiment 1 and EEG in Experiment 2, combined with representational similarity analysis (RSA), to explore the neural representation of lexical access in both the target and non-target languages during L2 word reading and the modulatory effects of processing demands. Results of two Experiments jointly revealed that the lexical information of L2 was represented widely and earlier during L2 lexical processing, whereas the lexical information of L1 was represented widely and earlier during L2 semantic processing. These findings provide spatiotemporally integrated evidence for the bilingual non-selective access hypothesis, indicating that non-selective processing occurs only under conditions of high semantic processing demands.
