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

Cortical cholinergic projections originate from subregions of the basal forebrain (BF). To examine its organization in humans, we computed multimodal gradients of BF connectivity by combining 7 T diffusion and resting state functional MRI. Moving from anteromedial to posterolateral BF, we observe reduced tethering between structural and functional connectivity gradients, with the lowest tethering in the nucleus basalis of Meynert. In the neocortex, this gradient is expressed by progressively reduced tethering from unimodal sensory to transmodal cortex, with the lowest tethering in the midcingulo-insular network, and is also spatially correlated with the molecular concentration of VAChT, measured by [
