Altered Insula Functional Connectivity Correlates to Cognitive Flexibility in Insomnia.
Article in Brain topography, 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
This study aimed to investigate the impaired cognitive flexibility and its underlying neural mechanisms in insomnia. By combining resting-state fMRI and the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), we examined the associations between insomnia severity, spontaneous brain activity (the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, fALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) with total cognitive flexibility scores. Behavioral results showed that insomnia severity significantly affected the control sub-dimension of cognitive flexibility. The fALFF analyses indicated that the right insula (Ins) was a key brain region significantly associated with cognitive flexibility. Further analysis based on the Ins revealed that FC between Ins and the bilateral superior temporal gyrus (STG), as well as Ins and the right precuneus, were significantly positively correlated with the total cognitive flexibility scores, with the right supplementary motor area (SMA) in the alternative sub-dimension, with the left lingual gyrus, right STG, right precuneus, and left paracentral lobule (PCL) in the control sub-dimension. The results suggest that the different sub-dimensions represent different neural pathways for cognitive flexibility, of which the PCL may be a brain region specific to insomnia patients. These findings reveal the impact of insomnia on the neural basis of cognitive flexibility and provides potential brain targets for future intervention and treatment.
