Association between theta-band resting-state functional connectivity and declarative memory abilities in children.

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
Declarative memory formation critically relies on the synchronization of brain oscillations in the theta frequency band (4-8 Hz) within specific brain networks. The development of this capacity is closely linked to the functional organization of these networks already at rest. However, the relationship between theta-band resting-state functional connectivity and declarative memory abilities remains unexplored in children. Here, using magnetoencephalography, we examined the association between declarative memory performance and pre-learning resting-state functional connectivity across frequency bands in 32 school-aged children. Declarative memory was assessed as the percentage of correct retrieval of 50 new associations between non-objects and magical functions, while resting-state functional connectivity was measured through power envelope correlation of the theta, alpha, low beta, and high beta frequency bands. We found that stronger theta-band resting-state functional connectivity within occipito-temporo-frontal networks correlated with better declarative memory retrieval, while no correlation was observed in the alpha and beta frequency bands. These findings suggest that the functional brain architecture at rest, specifically involving theta-band oscillations, supports declarative memory in children. This mechanism may facilitate the subsequent rapid transformation of sensory input into visuo-semantic representations, highlighting the critical role of theta-band connectivity in early cognitive development.
