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

Here, we argue systematically about the promises and pitfalls of relating Human Connectome to cognitive enhancement. We also highlight three key areas where further resolution is required before the generalization of the white-matter-related cause of cognitive enhancement across a variety of cognitive modalities is made. These key areas are: (a) inherent limitations in estimating of diffusion-weighted anisotropy index near volumes with high abundance of crossing fibers; (b) species differences in cell types and only a putative link between brain rhythms and modulation of activity in precursor cells in rodents;
