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

The vocal tract continuously employs tonic muscle activity in the maintenance of postural configurations. Gamma-band activity in the sensorimotor cortex underlies transient movements during speech production, yet little is known about the neural control of postural states in the vocal tract. Simultaneously, there is evidence that sensorimotor beta-band activations contribute to a system of inhibition and state maintenance that is integral to postural control in the body. Here we use electrocorticography to assess the contribution of sensorimotor beta-band activity during speech articulation and postural maintenance, and demonstrate that beta-band activity corresponds to the inhibition of discrete speech movements and the maintenance of tonic postural states in the vocal tract. Our findings identify consistencies between the neural control of posture in speech and what is previously reported in gross motor contexts, providing support for a unified theory of postural control across gross and fine motor skills.
