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 brain dynamics underlying working memory (WM) unroll via transient frequency-specific large-scale brain networks. This multidimensionality (time, space, and frequency) challenges traditional analyses. Through an unsupervised technique, the time delay embedded-hidden Markov model (TDE-HMM), we pursue a functional network analysis of magnetoencephalographic data from 38 healthy subjects acquired during an n-back task. Here we show that this model inferred task-specific networks with unique temporal (activation), spectral (phase-coupling connections), and spatial (power spectral density distribution) profiles. A theta frontoparietal network exerts attentional control and encodes the stimulus, an alpha temporo-occipital network rehearses the verbal information, and a broad-band frontoparietal network with a P300-like temporal profile leads the retrieval process and motor response. Therefore, this work provides a unified and integrated description of the multidimensional working memory dynamics that can be interpreted within the neuropsychological multi-component model of WM, improving the overall neurophysiological and neuropsychological comprehension of WM functioning.
