The Rhythm Reproduction Task for children: A psychometric examination.
Article in Behavior research methods, 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
Rhythmic ability includes various subskills, such as rhythm production and perception of beat, meter, and pattern. Among these, reproducing rhythmic patterns is a key measure of productive rhythmic skills. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Rhythm Reproduction Task for children (Jungbluth & Hafen, 2005) and an extended version including permuted item variants. A total of 151 children aged 5 to 8 completed the task across five response modalities (drumming after the experimenter, clapping, tapping, drumming after a loudspeaker, and vocal reproduction). Analyses showed appropriate item difficulty and variance, good internal consistency (α = .86, ω = .77), and strong correlations between original and permuted items (r = .84-.89). Structural equation modeling indicated partial metric invariance across item versions and response modalities. Results support the Rhythm Reproduction Task as a reliable measure of rhythmic pattern reproduction in children, with permuted items expanding its applicability.
