The effect of task complexity on the neural network for response inhibition: An ALE meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Response inhibition is classically investigated using the go/no-go (GNGT) and stop-signal task (SST), which conceptually measure different subprocesses of inhibition. Further, different task versions with varying levels of additional executive control demands exist, making it difficult to identify the core neural correlates of response inhibition independent of variations in task complexity. Using neuroimaging meta-analyses, we show that a divergent pattern of regions is consistently involved in the GNGT versus SST, arguing for different mechanisms involved when performing the two tasks. Further, for the GNGT a strong effect of task complexity was found, with regions of the multiple demand network (MDN) consistently involved particularly in the complex GNGT. In contrast, both standard and complex SST recruited the MDN to a similar degree. These results complement behavioral evidence suggesting that inhibitory control becomes automatic after some practice and is performed without input of higher control regions in the classic, standard GNGT, but continues to be implemented in a top-down controlled fashion in the SST.
