Stability of ripple events during task engagement in human hippocampus.
Article in Cell reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
High-frequency activity bursts in the hippocampus, known as ripples, are thought to support memory consolidation during "offline" states, such as sleep. Recently, human hippocampal ripples have been observed during "online" episodic memory tasks. It remains unclear whether similar ripple activity occurs during other cognitive states, including different types of episodic memory. However, identifying genuine ripple events in the human hippocampus is challenging. To address these questions, spectro-temporal ripple identification was applied to human hippocampal recordings across a variety of cognitive tasks. Overall, ripple attributes were stable across tasks of visual perception and associative memory, with mean rates lower than offline states of rest and sleep. In contrast, while more complex visual attention tasks did not modulate ripple attributes, rates were enhanced for more complex autobiographical memory conditions. Therefore, hippocampal ripples reliably occur across cognitive states but are specifically enhanced during offline states and complex memory processes, consistent with a role in consolidation.
