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

Introduction: Studies have revealed that the language network of Broca's area and Wernicke's area is modulated by factors such as disease, gender, aging, and handedness. However, how occupational factors modulate the language network remains unclear. Methods: In this study, taking professional seafarers as an example, we explored the resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) of the language network with seeds (the original and flipped Broca's area and Wernicke's area). Results: The results showed seafarers had weakened RSFC of Broca's area with the left superior/middle frontal gyrus and left precentral gyrus, and enhanced RSFC of Wernicke's area with the cingulate and precuneus. Further, seafarers had a less right-lateralized RSFC with Broca's area in the left inferior frontal gyrus, while the controls showed a left-lateralized RSFC pattern in Broca's area and a right-lateralized one in Wernicke's area. Moreover, seafarers displayed stronger RSFC with the left seeds of Broca's area and Wernicke's area. Discussion: These findings suggest that years of working experience significantly modulates the RSFC of language networks and their lateralization, providing rich insights into language networks and occupational neuroplasticity.
