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

Although recent work has made headway in understanding the neural temporospatial dynamics of conscious perception, much of that work has focused on visual paradigms. To determine whether there are shared mechanisms for perceptual consciousness across sensory modalities, here we test within the auditory domain. Participants completed an auditory threshold task while undergoing intracranial electroencephalography. Recordings from >2,800 grey matter electrodes were analyzed for broadband gamma power (a range which reflects local neural activity). For perceived trials, we find nearly simultaneous activity in early auditory regions, the right caudal middle frontal gyrus, and the non-auditory thalamus; followed by a wave of activity that sweeps through auditory association regions into parietal and frontal cortices. For not perceived trials, significant activity is restricted to early auditory regions. These findings show the cortical and subcortical networks involved in auditory perception are similar to those observed with vision, suggesting shared mechanisms for conscious perception.
