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

Neuroscience has had access to high-resolution recordings of large-scale cortical activity and structure for decades, but still lacks a generally adopted basis to analyze and interrelate results from different individuals and experiments. Here it is argued that the natural oscillatory modes of the cortex-cortical eigenmodes-provide a physically preferred framework for systematic comparisons across experimental conditions and imaging modalities. In this framework, eigenmodes are analogous to notes of a musical instrument, while commonly used statistical patterns parallel frequently played chords. This intuitive perspective avoids problems that often arise in neuroimaging analyses, and connects to underlying mechanisms of brain activity. We envisage this approach will lead to novel insights into whole-brain function, both in existing and prospective datasets, and facilitate a unification of empirical findings across presently disparate analysis paradigms and measurement modalities.
