Parietal oscillations code nonvisual reach targets relative to gaze and body.
Trial report in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Recent blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) imaging work has suggested flexible coding frames for reach targets in human posterior parietal cortex, with a gaze-centered reference frame for visually guided reaches and a body-centered frame for proprioceptive reaches. However, BOLD activity, which reflects overall population activity, is insensitive to heterogeneous responses at the neuronal level and temporal dynamics between neurons. Neurons could synchronize in different frequency bands to form assemblies operating in different reference frames. Here we assessed the reference frames of oscillatory activity in parietal cortex during reach planning to nonvisible tactile stimuli. Under continuous recording of magneto-encephalographic data, subjects fixated either to the left or right of the body midline, while a tactile stimulus was presented to a nonvisible fingertip, located either to the left or right of gaze. After a delay, they had to reach toward the remembered stimulus location with the other hand. Our results show body-centered and gaze-centered reference frames underlying the power modulations in specific frequency bands. Whereas beta-band activity (18-30 Hz) in parietal regions showed body-centered spatial selectivity, the high gamma band (>60 Hz) demonstrated a transient remapping into gaze-centered coordinates in parietal and extrastriate visual areas. This gaze-centered coding was sustained in the low gamma (<60 Hz) and alpha (∼10 Hz) bands. Our results show that oscillating subpopulations encode remembered tactile targets for reaches relative to gaze, even though neither the sensory nor the motor output processes operate in this frame. We discuss these findings in the light of flexible control mechanisms across modalities and effectors.
