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

Cognitive science has a rich history of developing theories of processing that characterize the mental steps involved in performance of many tasks. Recent work in neuroimaging and machine learning has greatly improved our ability to link cognitive processes with what is happening in the brain. This article analyzes a hidden semi-Markov model-multivoxel pattern-analysis (HSMM-MVPA) methodology that we have developed for inferring the sequence of brain states one traverses in the performance of a cognitive task. The method is applied to a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment where task boundaries are known that should separate states. The method is able to accurately identify those boundaries. Then, applying the method to synthetic data, we explore more fully those factors that influence performance of the method: signal-to-noise ratio, numbers of states, state sojourn times, and numbers of underlying experimental conditions. The results indicate the types of experimental tasks where applications of the HSMM-MVPA method are likely to yield accurate and insightful results.
