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

Voelker et al. discuss the potentially critical role of white matter changes underlying the effects of training. In regard to the specific types of neural activities and processes related to these changes, the authors focus on theta rhythms and the speed of manual response times. However, white matter changes likely affect brain oscillatory activity at multiple frequencies, and recent findings suggest structural connections may be even more important for higher frequency functional connectivity. Furthermore, activity in the gamma frequency range has been implicated in basic mechanisms of attention, and changes in these core processes could underlie improvements across multiple tasks.
