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

Brain oscillations emerge during sensory and cognitive processes and have been classified into different frequency bands. Yet, even within the same frequency band and between nearby brain locations, the exact frequencies of brain oscillations can differ. These frequency differences (detuning) have been largely ignored and play little role in current functional theories of brain oscillations. This contrasts with the crucial role that detuning plays in synchronization theory, as originally derived in physical systems. Here, we propose that detuning is equally important to understand synchronization in biological systems. Detuning is a critical control parameter in synchronization, which is not only important in shaping phase-locking, but also in establishing preferred phase relations between oscillators. We review recent evidence that frequency differences between brain locations are ubiquitous and essential in shaping temporal neural coordination. With the rise of powerful experimental techniques to probe brain oscillations, the contributions of exact frequency and detuning across neural circuits will become increasingly clear and will play a key part in developing a new understanding of the role of oscillations in brain function.
