Electrophysiological Evidence Reveals the Asymmetric Transfer from the Right to Left Hemisphere as Key to Reading Proficiency.
Article in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The present investigation aimed to explore the interhemispheric interactions that contribute to changes in reading proficiency by examining the processing of visual word recognition in relation to word familiarity. A lexical decision task was administered to 25 participants, and their electrophysiological activity was recorded. A behavioral analysis showed the faster and more accurate processing of highly familiar words compared to less familiar ones. An event-related potential analysis uncovered an asymmetric familiarity effect over the N100 and N400 components across the two hemispheres, indicating an asymmetrical word familiarity processing. Granger causality analyses demonstrated a stronger transfer of information from the right hemisphere (RH) to the left hemisphere (LH) during the N100 processing and a weaker transfer from the LH to the RH during the N400 processing for highly familiar word recognition. These findings suggest that the asymmetric coordination between the RH and LH occurs early in visual word recognition and highlight the importance of interhemispheric interactions in efficient visual word recognition and proficient reading.
