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

Artificial neural networks trained in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as key tools to model brain processes, sparking the idea of aligning network representations with brain dynamics to enhance performance on AI tasks. While this concept has gained support in the visual domain, we investigate here the feasibility of creating auditory artificial neural models directly aligned with individual brain activity. This objective raises major computational challenges, as models have to be trained directly with brain data, which is typically collected at a much smaller scale than data used to train AI models. We aimed to answer two key questions: (1) Can brain alignment of auditory models lead to improved brain encoding for novel, previously unseen stimuli? (2) Can brain alignment lead to generalisable representations of auditory signals that are useful for solving a variety of complex auditory tasks? To answer these questions, we relied on two massive datasets: a deep phenotyping dataset from the Courtois neuronal modelling project, where six subjects watched four seasons (36 h) of the
