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

Working memory (WM), short term maintenance of information for goal directed behavior, is essential to human cognition. Identifying the neural mechanisms supporting WM is a focal point of neuroscientific research. One prominent theory hypothesizes that WM content is carried in "activity-silent" brain states involving short-term synaptic changes. Information carried in such brain states could be decodable from content-specific changes in responses to unrelated "impulse stimuli". Here, we used single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (spTMS) as the impulse stimulus and then decoded content maintained in WM from EEG using multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) with robust non-parametric permutation testing. The decoding accuracy of WM content significantly enhanced after spTMS was delivered to the posterior superior temporal cortex during WM maintenance. Our results show that WM maintenance involves brain states, which are activity silent relative to other intrinsic processes visible in the EEG signal.
