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

Due primarily to the extensive disposition of fibers and secondarily to the methodological preferences of researchers, the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) subdivisions have multiple names, complicating SLF research. Here, we collected and reassessed existing knowledge regarding the SLF, which we used to propose a four-term classification of the SLF based mainly on function: dorsal SLF, ventral SLF, posterior SLF, and arcuate fasciculus (AF); these correspond to the traditional SLF II, SLF III or anterior AF, temporoparietal segment of the SLF or posterior AF, and AF or AF long segment, respectively. Each segment has a distinct functional role. The dorsal SLF is involved in visuospatial attention and motor control, while the ventral SLF is associated with language-related networks, auditory comprehension, and articulatory processing in the left hemisphere. The posterior SLF is involved in language-related processing, including auditory comprehension, reading, and lexical access, while the AF is associated with language-related activities, such as phonological processing; the right AF plays a role in social cognition and visuospatial attention. This simple proposed classification permits a better understanding of the SLF and may comprise a convenient classification for use in research and clinical practice relating to brain function.
