Right and left neglect are not anatomically homologous: A voxel-lesion symptom mapping study.
Article in Neuropsychologia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Visuospatial neglect is a heterogenous syndrome which can occur following damage to either right or left hemisphere areas. This study employs voxel-lesion symptom mapping to identify the neural correlates of left and right egocentric and allocentric neglect in a large acute stroke cohort. A cohort of 446 acute stroke survivors (age = 26-95, 44% female) completed neuropsychological neglect assessment and routine clinical imaging. Similar to previous investigations, left egocentric and left allocentric neglect were associated with damage to distinct clusters of voxels within the posterior parietal and temporo-parietal junction areas. Unlike previous investigations, right egocentric neglect was found to most strongly associated with damage to more posterior voxels within left occipital cortical areas. Right allocentric neglect was found to be most strongly associated with damage to the anterior limb of the left internal capsule. Interestingly, the right hemisphere homologues of the areas implicated in right-lateralised neglect were not overlapping with those associated with left neglect impairment. This dissociation was present across both egocentric and allocentric neglect impairment. The results of this investigation suggest that right egocentric/allocentric neglect should not be characterised as a consequence of damage to left-hemisphere homologues of the right hemisphere attentional systems. These findings support the characterisation of visuospatial neglect as a heterogenous cluster of impairments rather than a unitary syndrome and provide novel insight into the neural correlates of spatial attention.
