Left Insula and Right Middle Temporal Gyrus Dominate Cortical Network Discriminating Arousal-dependent Emotions.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Emotion processing is an integral part of everyone's life. The basic neural circuits involved in emotion perception are becoming clear, though the emotion's cognitive processing remains under investigation. Utilizing the stereo-electroencephalograph with high temporal-spatial resolution, this study aims to decipher the neural pathway responsible for discriminating low-arousal and high-arousal emotions. This study involves 19 patients with pharmacologically resistant epilepsy who participate in a delayed match/mismatch sample task designed to separately assess their ability to discriminate between low-arousal and high-arousal emotions. Three groups of 11 brain subregions, with dominant lateralization, compose a network, which is identified as responsible for discriminating arousal-dependent emotions. The connection of these subregions, leading by the left insula and right middle temporal gyrus, defines the pathways for discriminating emotions with different arousals. Further, the separated network patterns related to emotional discrimination are face-independent. Overall, the left insula and the right middle temporal gyrus emerge as core components in the network, which plays key roles in the dynamic course for discriminating low- and high-arousal emotions in the human brain.
