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

Typical fMRI analyses often assume a canonical hemodynamic response function (HRF) that primarily focuses on the peak height of the overshoot, neglecting other morphological aspects. Consequently, reported analyses often reduce the overall response curve to a single scalar value. In this study, we take a data-driven approach to HRF estimation at the whole-brain voxel level, without assuming a response profile at the individual level. We then employ a roughness penalty at the population level to estimate the response curve, aiming to enhance predictive accuracy, inferential efficiency, and cross-study reproducibility. By examining a fast event-related FMRI dataset, we demonstrate the shortcomings and information loss associated with adopting the canonical approach. Furthermore, we address the following key questions: 1) To what extent does the HRF shape vary across different regions, conditions, and participant groups? 2) Does the data-driven approach improve detection sensitivity compared to the canonical approach? 3) Can analyzing the HRF shape help validate the presence of an effect in conjunction with statistical evidence? 4) Does analyzing the HRF shape offer evidence for whole-brain response during a simple task?
