Systematic review of neuroimaging correlates of executive functioning: converging evidence from different clinical populations.
Synthesis in The Journal of neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 65 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Executive functioning (EF) is an important cognitive domain that is negatively affected in a number of neuropsychiatric conditions. Neuroimaging methods have led to insights into the anatomical and functional nature of EF. The authors conducted a systematic review of the recent cognitive and neuroimaging literature to investigate how the neuroimaging correlates of EF compare between different diagnostic groups. The authors found that the frontal, parietal, and cerebellar lobes were most frequently associated with EF when comparing results from different clinical populations; the occipital lobe was not correlated with EF in any group. These findings suggest that individual disease processes affect circuits within an identifiable distributed network rather than isolated regions.
