Changes in Cerebral Oxygenation and Systemic Physiology During a Verbal Fluency Task: Differences Between Men and Women.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSex differences in behavioural performance of a cognitive task have been repeatedly reported in the literature. Whether such differences are also relevant for evoked cerebral haemodynamic and oxygenation responses as well as systemic physiological changes is a topic of ongoing investigations.
aimWe investigated whether changes in cerebral oxygenation and systemic physiological activity are sex-dependent during a verbal fluency task (VFT). SUBJECTS AND
methodsVFT performance and changes in cerebral oxygenation and systemic physiology were investigated in 32 healthy right-handed adults (17 females, 15 males, age: 25.5 ± 4.3 years). The total duration of the VFT was 9 min. During this phase, subjects were also exposed to blue light (peak wavelength: 450 nm, illuminance: 120 lux). Before and after the VFT, subjects were in darkness. In this study, we used the systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS) approach. Absolute concentration changes of oxyhaemoglobin ([O
resultsWe found that: (i) Females were better VFT performers in comparison to males. (ii) Changes in [O
conclusionsOur study showed that sex differences are not only observed in task performance but also in the magnitudes of changes in cerebral and physiological parameters. The findings of the current study emphasise that sex differences in brain activation and systemic physiological activity need to be considered when interpreting functional neuroimaging data. These findings offer a broad range of implications for educational purposes and facilitate a better understanding of the effects of sex on behavioural performance as well as human physiology.
