Neural dynamics of verbal working memory processing in children and adolescents.
Article in NeuroImage, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
Development of cognitive functions and the underlying neurophysiology is evident throughout childhood and adolescence, with higher order processes such as working memory (WM) being some of the last cognitive faculties to fully mature. Previous functional neuroimaging studies of the neurodevelopment of WM have largely focused on overall regional activity levels rather than the temporal dynamics of neural component recruitment. In this study, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to examine the neural dynamics of WM in a large cohort of children and adolescents who were performing a high-load, modified verbal Sternberg WM task. Consistent with previous studies in adults, our findings indicated left-lateralized activity throughout the task period, beginning in the occipital cortices and spreading anterior to include temporal and prefrontal cortices during later encoding and into maintenance. During maintenance, the occipital alpha increase that has been widely reported in adults was found to be relatively weak in this developmental sample, suggesting continuing development of this component of neural processing, which was supported by correlational analyses. Intriguingly, we also found sex-specific developmental effects in alpha responses in the right inferior frontal region during encoding and in parietal and occipital cortices during maintenance. These findings suggested a developmental divergence between males and females in the maturation of neural circuitry serving WM during the transition from childhood to adolescence.
