EEG Microstates as a Functional Marker of Performance During Emotional Interference.
Article in Annals of neurosciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: In order to understand social interactions, integration of emotional valence and semantic information plays a pertinent role. Emotional interference is reflected as a decline in executive function in the presence of emotional stimuli (faces and valenced words). We hypothesise that apart from what we perceive, the intrinsic brain activity may also influence the behavioural outcome. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the role of the pre-stimulus EEG microstate in determining the performance of an individual in an emotional interference task. Methods: Twenty healthy participants performed the emotional interference task, while microstate parameters were derived from single trial 128 channel EEG during correct and error trials. Results: We found that four microstate maps could represent the response accuracy of the preceding behavioural response during emotional interference. The intracranial generators of the pre-trial microstate during emotional interference revealed the areas related to phonological processing (middle temporal and superior temporal gyri), emotional processing (inferior parietal, parahippocampal, transverse temporal gyri), conflict resolution (inferior frontal gyrus and insula) and motor responses (pre-central gyrus). Conclusion: In addition to the valence and semantics of the stimuli, the pre-stimulus microstate may help to determine subsequent performance.
