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

Merging functional evidence derived from studies of autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder converges in four neural streams of the prefrontal cortex, hence suggesting a model of information processing through four streams: motor through Brodmann area (BA) 8, emotion through BA 9, memory through BA 10, and emotional-related sensory through BA 11. A growing body of functional data has been supporting this model of information processing. Nevertheless, the underlying structural connectivity was only recently unveiled by a population-based high-definition tractography study with data from 1,065 individuals. This update provides a brief overview of recent evidence supporting the anatomofunctional integration of the four streams of the prefrontal cortex and reviews the white matter fiber tracts subserving the four streams.
