Non-specific increase in alpha power during a neurofeedback session targeting its downregulation.

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
Electroencephalographic neurofeedback is often assumed to provide volitional control over neural oscillations, with the alpha rhythm regarded as a particularly accessible target. Yet, evidence supporting single-session alpha modulation remains controversial, largely because of insufficient controls for non-specific influences such as time-on-task effects. This study examined whether individuals can downregulate alpha parietal-scalp power during a single neurofeedback session while controlling for feedback veracity and targeted modulation direction. Healthy individuals completed three training blocks in which the size of a visual stimulus reflected either their real-time alpha power (Alpha-Down group), alpha power in the opposite direction (Alpha-Up group), or prerecorded trajectories (Sham group), followed by a transfer block without feedback. The frequency of feedback update was varied across training blocks (1, 5, or 10
