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

Adaptive behavior rests on predictions based on statistical regularities in the environment. Such regularities pertain to stimulus contents ("what") and timing ("when"), and both interactively modulate sensory processing. In speech streams, predictions can be formed at multiple hierarchical levels of contents (e.g., syllables vs words) and timing (faster vs slower time scales). Whether and how these hierarchies map onto each other remains unknown. Under one hypothesis, neural hierarchies may link "what" and "when" predictions within sensory processing areas: with lower versus higher cortical regions mediating interactions for smaller versus larger units (syllables vs words). Alternatively, interactions between "what" and "when" regularities might rest on a generic, sensory-independent mechanism. To address these questions, we manipulated "what" and "when" regularities at two levels-single syllables and disyllabic pseudowords-while recording neural activity using magnetoencephalography (MEG) in healthy volunteers (
