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

In multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals, trial-wise response amplitudes are sometimes estimated using a general linear model (GLM) with one onset regressor for each trial. When using rapid event-related designs with trials closely spaced in time, those estimates can be highly correlated due to the temporally smoothed shape of the hemodynamic response function. In previous work (Soch et al., 2020), we have proposed inverse transformed encoding modeling (ITEM), a principled approach for trial-wise decoding from fMRI signals in the presence of trial-by-trial correlations. Here, we (i) perform simulation studies addressing its performance for multivariate signals and (ii) present searchlight-based ITEM analysis-which allows to predict a variable of interest from the vicinity of each voxel in the brain. We empirically validate the approach by confirming
