Intracortical depth analyses of frequency-sensitive regions of human auditory cortex using 7TfMRI.
Article in NeuroImage, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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
Despite recent advances in auditory neuroscience, the exact functional organization of human auditory cortex (AC) has been difficult to investigate. Here, using reversals of tonotopic gradients as the test case, we examined whether human ACs can be more precisely mapped by avoiding signals caused by large draining vessels near the pial surface, which bias blood-oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals away from the actual sites of neuronal activity. Using ultra-high field (7T) fMRI and cortical depth analysis techniques previously applied in visual cortices, we sampled 1mm isotropic voxels from different depths of AC during narrow-band sound stimulation with biologically relevant temporal patterns. At the group level, analyses that considered voxels from all cortical depths, but excluded those intersecting the pial surface, showed (a) the greatest statistical sensitivity in contrasts between activations to high vs. low frequency sounds and (b) the highest inter-subject consistency of phase-encoded continuous tonotopy mapping. Analyses based solely on voxels intersecting the pial surface produced the least consistent group results, even when compared to analyses based solely on voxels intersecting the white-matter surface where both signal strength and within-subject statistical power are weakest. However, no evidence was found for reduced within-subject reliability in analyses considering the pial voxels only. Our group results could, thus, reflect improved inter-subject correspondence of high and low frequency gradients after the signals from voxels near the pial surface are excluded. Using tonotopy analyses as the test case, our results demonstrate that when the major physiological and anatomical biases imparted by the vasculature are controlled, functional mapping of human ACs becomes more consistent from subject to subject than previously thought.
