Detailed somatotopy in primary motor and somatosensory cortex revealed by Gaussian population receptive fields.
Article in NeuroImage, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
The relevance of human primary motor cortex (M1) for motor actions has long been established. However, it is still unknown how motor actions are represented, and whether M1 contains an ordered somatotopy at the mesoscopic level. In the current study we show that a detailed within-limb somatotopy can be obtained in M1 during finger movements using Gaussian population Receptive Field (pRF) models. Similar organizations were also obtained for primary somatosensory cortex (S1), showing that individual finger representations are interconnected throughout sensorimotor cortex. The current study additionally estimates receptive field sizes of neuronal populations, showing differences between finger digit representations, between M1 and S1, and additionally between finger digit flexion and extension. Using the Gaussian pRF approach, the detailed somatotopic organization of M1 can be obtained including underlying characteristics, allowing for the in-depth investigation of cortical motor representation and sensorimotor integration.
