Causal Role of the Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Organizational Fairness Perception: Evidence From a Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Study.
Article in Frontiers in behavioral neuroscience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC) plays an essential role in social decision-making. Although several neural imaging studies have provided evidence that the rDLPFC is correlated with fairness perception, little research has investigated the causal effect of this encephalic region on individuals' consciousness, particularly perceptions of organizational fairness. The present study explores the causal relationship between the rDLPFC and organizational fairness perception by using brain modulation techniques. Healthy participants received transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and fulfilled the modified ultimatum game (UG) in the sham-controlled experiment. Our results showed that only cathodal stimulation of the rDLPFC resulted in increasing rejection offers compared with the sham stimulation in conditions of disadvantageous inequity. No differences were found between the anodal and sham stimulation in any inequity condition. This study strengthens the main functional effects of the rDLPFC in negative emotional control in relation to organizational fairness perceptions.
