The Decline of Cortical Beta Oscillation on the Function of Eye-hand Coordination in the Healthy Elderly.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimThere seems to be a correlation between changes in movement patterns with aging and brain activation. In the preparation and execution of movements, neural oscillations play an important role. In this study, cortical high frequency brain oscillations were analyzed in 15 healthy young adults and 15 elderly adults who participated in eye-hand coordination tasks. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe brain activities of healthy young and older adults were recorded using electroencephalography (EEG).
resultsElderly participants spent significantly more time completing the task than young participants. During eye-hand coordination in elderly groups, beta power decreased significantly in the central midline and parietal brain regions. The data suggest that healthy elderly subjects had intact cognitive performance, but relatively poor eye-hand coordination associated with loss of beta brain oscillation in the central midline and parietal cortex and reduced ability to attentional movement.
conclusionBeta frequency in the parietal brain sites may contribute to attentional movement. This could be an important method for monitoring cognitive brain function changes as the brain ages.
