Intergenerational transmission of the patterns of functional and structural brain networks.
Article in iScience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
There is clear evidence of intergenerational transmission of life values, cognitive traits, psychiatric disorders, and even aspects of daily decision making. To investigate biological substrates of this phenomenon, the brain has received increasing attention as a measurable biomarker and potential target for intervention. However, no previous study has quantitatively and comprehensively investigated the effects of intergenerational transmission on functional and structural brain networks. Here, by employing an unusually large cohort dataset (N = 84 parent-child dyads; 45 sons, 39 daughters, 81 mothers, and 3 fathers), we show that patterns of functional and structural brain networks are preserved over a generation. We also demonstrate that several demographic factors and behavioral/physiological phenotypes have a relationship with brain similarity. Collectively, our results provide a comprehensive picture of neurobiological substrates of intergenerational transmission and demonstrate the usability of our dataset for investigating the neurobiological substrates of intergenerational transmission.
