Lapses of attention.
Review in Psychonomic bulletin & review, 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
The literature on lapses of attention is organized and reviewed. This includes a review of different types of lapses, different measures of lapses, and neural and physiological correlates of lapses. A general attention resource-allocation framework is proposed to explain lapses and what factors influence their occurrence. These factors include arousal/alertness, external distraction, personal concerns and negative thoughts, motivational/conative factors, task factors, and person factors. Research is reviewed suggesting that lapses have downstream effects on a number of processes including selective attention and attention control, working memory, learning, reading comprehension, and error monitoring. Finally, lapses in everyday life are reviewed. A number of future directions are discussed and it is suggested that more research is needed to refine our definition and theories of lapses and examine additional ways of curtailing lapses.
