Spectrotemporal content of human auditory working memory represented in functional connectivity patterns.
Article in Communications biology, 2023. 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
Recent research suggests that working memory (WM), the mental sketchpad underlying thinking and communication, is maintained by multiple regions throughout the brain. Whether parts of a stable WM representation could be distributed across these brain regions is, however, an open question. We addressed this question by examining the content-specificity of connectivity-pattern matrices between subparts of cortical regions-of-interest (ROI). These connectivity patterns were calculated from functional MRI obtained during a ripple-sound auditory WM task. Statistical significance was assessed by comparing the decoding results to a null distribution derived from a permutation test considering all comparable two- to four-ROI connectivity patterns. Maintained WM items could be decoded from connectivity patterns across ROIs in frontal, parietal, and superior temporal cortices. All functional connectivity patterns that were specific to maintained sound content extended from early auditory to frontoparietal cortices. Our results demonstrate that WM maintenance is supported by content-specific patterns of functional connectivity across different levels of cortical hierarchy.
