The behavioral and cognitive relevance of time-varying, dynamic changes in functional connectivity.
Review in NeuroImage, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 154 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 advances in neuroimaging methods and analysis have led to an expanding body of research that investigates how large-scale brain network organization dynamically adapts to changes in one's environment, including both internal state changes and external stimulation. It is now possible to detect changes in functional connectivity that occur on the order of seconds, both during an unconstrained resting state and during the performance of constrained cognitive tasks. It is thought that these dynamic, time-varying changes in functional connectivity, often referred to as dynamic functional connectivity (dFC), include features that are relevant to behavior and cognition. This review summarizes four aspects of the nascent literature directly testing that assumption: 1) how changes in functional network organization on the order of task blocks relate to differences in task demands and to cognitive ability; 2) how differences in dFC variability between different contexts relate to cognitive demands and behavioral performance; 3) how ongoing fluctuations in dFC impact perception and attention; and 4) how different patterns of dFC correspond to individual differences in cognition. The review ends by discussing promising directions for future research in this field. First, it comments on how dFC analyses can help to elucidate the mechanisms of healthy cognition. Next, it describes how dFC processes may be disrupted in disease, and how probing such dysfunction can increase understanding of neural etiology, as well as behavioral and cognitive impairments, observed in psychiatric and neurologic populations. Last, it considers the potential for computational models to uncover neuronal mechanisms of dFC, and how both healthy cognition and disease emerge from network dynamics.
