Segregated input to thalamic areas that project differently to core and shell auditory cortical fields.

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
Perception of the environment is multimodal in nature, with sensory systems intricately interconnected. The ability to integrate multimodal sensations while preserving the distinct characteristics of each sensory modality is crucial, and the underlying mechanisms of the organization that facilitate this process require further elucidation. In the auditory system, although the concept of core and shell pathways is well established, the brain-wide input/output relationships of thalamic regions projecting to auditory-responsive cortical areas remain insufficiently studied, particularly in relation to non-auditory structures. In this study, we utilized functional imaging and viral tracing techniques to map the brain-wide connections of core and shell pathways. We identified three distinct shell pathways, in addition to a core pathway, each exhibiting unique associations with non-auditory structures involved in behavior, emotion, and other functions. This architecture suggests that these pathways contribute differentially to various aspects of multimodal sensory integration.
