Contextual Facilitation Effect on EFL Learners' Reflexive Anaphora Resolution: Evidence from Eye Movements.
Article in Journal of psycholinguistic research, 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
Guided by cue-based retrieval theory, this study investigates Chinese EFL learners' reflexive anaphora resolution, focusing on whether gender information is utilized during online processing and whether prior discourse context supports this process under different levels of syntactic demand. Two eye-tracking experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 showed that learners exhibited early sensitivity to antecedent-reflexive gender mismatch when antecedent-related gender information was supported by prior discourse, although reading patterns did not differ reliably between strong- and weak-context conditions. Experiment 2 further showed that early gender-mismatch sensitivity remained detectable in garden-path sentences, despite increased processing demands associated with syntactic reanalysis. Together, these findings suggest that antecedent-related discourse information can support online L2 reflexive processing and that gender-sensitive processing remains available when reflexive resolution occurs under increased syntactic demands. The findings extend cue-based retrieval approaches by suggesting that prior discourse context can modulate the accessibility and weighting of retrieval cues during L2 reflexive processing.
