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

Recently, some researchers propose to investigate the effect of proactive language control on executive control by examining the role language contexts might play. However, whether the reactive language control also drives the effect remains unclear. The present study adopts the cross-task adaptation design to compare the influence of language context and nonverbal context on executive control in the sample of unbalanced Chinese-English bilinguals. We interleaved closely matched language switching tasks and nonverbal switching tasks with executive control tasks (Stroop task in Experiment 1 and Global-Local task in Experiment 2). Results showed the conflict adaptation effect of reactive cognitive control within the language context, but not within the nonverbal context. Moreover, this effect was observed under both congruent and incongruent executive control trials. Taken together, these results indicate the contribution of reactive language control to executive control, and the monitoring mechanism establishes a bridge connecting executive control and reactive language control during language production.
