This analysis might track slowly modulated changes in attentional states, but it fails to detect trial-by-trial fluctuations of attention, which might be most relevant for the subsequent memory effect as assessed here.
Performance is evaluated primarily in terms of sensitivity (i.e., activation extent, activation magnitude, percent detected trials and effect size estimates) using five different tasks expected to evoke neuronal activity in a distributed set of regions.
First, not surprisingly, partial-error "size" (as assessed by IncSurf and IncDur) increased from undetected to detected trials, with "uncertain" trials being in between.
Finally, detected trials produced a longer MT than did uncertain ones [ F 1, 14) = 10.57, p <.01]; these two categories did not differ in either slope [ F 1, 14) < 1] or surface [ F 1, 14) = 1.01, p =.33].
The results of the DETECT trial which was designed to compare directly the prognostic value of two commercially available CTC assays in metastatic breast cancer have shown that the prognostic relevance of CTC detection depends on the test method, and that the CellSearch assay is superior to the AdnaTest BreastCancer™ assay in predicting clinical outcome [ 39].
The results of the DETECT trial, which was designed to directly compare the prognostic value of two commercially available CTC assays in MBC, have shown that the prognostic relevance of CTC detection depends on the test method (Muller et al, 2012).
In meta-analysis, one is particularly concerned with publication bias, i.e. the effect of failing to detect unpublished trials.
This provides support for our predictions that the melancholic group would display difficulty in detecting signal trials from noise trials on emotional word blocks.
Even excluding the ECOG 1484 trial, there was still heterogeneity detected among trials (p = 0.0009; I² = 86%).
