Intersubject correlation as a predictor of attention: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 meta-analysis examines the challenge of capturing brain activity in real-world and laboratory settings by integrating naturalistic neuroimaging and experimental data with behavioral measures to explore the predictive role of intersubject correlation (ISC) in attention. Using databases such as Web of Science and PubMed, we conducted a comprehensive search from January 2000 to July 2024. Our meta-analysis of 14 studies and 27 effect sizes reveals a significant positive correlation between ISC and attention (r = 0.65, p < 0.001), demonstrating that ISC serves as a reliable neural marker for attentional engagement under various experimental conditions. By incorporating naturalistic stimuli such as video clips and controlled laboratory tasks, we provide insights into the application of ISC to predict attention in ecologically-valid contexts. Moreover, our addition of behavioral data further enhances the understanding of how neural synchronization reflects attentional states. Our results underscore the potential of utilizing ISC to develop personalized assessments and interventions in educational and cognitive settings.
