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

Primate communication relies on multimodal cues, such as vision and audition, to facilitate the exchange of intentions, enable social interactions, avoid predators, and foster group cohesion during daily activities. Understanding the integration of facial and vocal signals is pivotal to comprehend social interaction. In this study, we acquire whole-brain ultra-high field (9.4 T) fMRI data from awake marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) to explore brain responses to unimodal and combined facial and vocal stimuli. Our findings reveal that the multisensory condition not only intensifies activations in the occipito-temporal face patches and auditory voice patches but also engages a more extensive network that includes additional parietal, prefrontal and cingulate areas, compared to the summed responses of the unimodal conditions. By uncovering the neural network underlying multisensory audiovisual integration in marmosets, this study highlights the efficiency and adaptability of the marmoset brain in processing facial and vocal social signals, providing significant insights into primate social communication.
