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

This dynamic causal modeling (DCM) analysis, comprising 99 participants from 4 studies, investigated effective neuronal connectivity during social action sequence prediction. The analysis focused on mentalizing areas within the cerebellum, specifically the bilateral Crus 1, Crus 2, and lobule IX, as well as cerebral mentalizing areas within the precuneus, temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), and dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC). Consistent with previous research, we found robust bidirectional closed loop connections between the posterior cerebellar Crus and cerebral mentalizing areas. We also found previously unexplored unidirectional connections originating from cerebellar lobule IX to the dmPFC and left TPJ and from the right TPJ to lobule IX. Furthermore, we uncovered many bidirectional closed loops within the cerebellum between the left and right Crus 1, and between Crus 1 and Crus 2, and for the first time, between the bilateral Crus 2 and lobule IX. Our findings illuminate the distinct role of cerebellar Crus and lobule IX, and cerebral mentalizing areas in predicting social action sequences.
