Respiration-timing-dependent changes in activation of neural substrates during cognitive processes.
Article in Cerebral cortex communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We previously showed that cognitive performance declines when the retrieval process spans an expiratory-to-inspiratory (EI) phase transition (an onset of inspiration). To identify the neural underpinning of this phenomenon, we conducted functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while participants performed a delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) recognition memory task with a short delay. Respiration during the task was monitored using a nasal cannula. Behavioral data replicated the decline in memory performance specific to the EI transition during the retrieval process, while an extensive array of frontoparietal regions were activated during the encoding, delay, and retrieval processes of the task. Within these regions, when the retrieval process spanned the EI transition, activation was reduced in the anterior cluster of the right temporoparietal junction (TPJa, compared to cases when the retrieval process spanned the inspiratory-to-expiratory phase transition) and the left and right middle frontal gyrus, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, and somatosensory areas (compared to cases when the retrieval process did not span any phase transition). These results in task-related activity may represent respiratory interference specifically in information manipulation rather than memory storage. Our findings demonstrate a cortical-level effect of respiratory phases on cognitive processes and highlight the importance of the timing of breathing for successful performance.
