The relationship between deviant brain activity and executive functioning in glioma patients.
Article in Neuro-oncology advances. 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
Background: Glioma patients frequently suffer from executive functioning (EF) deficits. The underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Studies have revealed bidirectional interactions between gliomas and their surroundings with neuronal activity promoting tumor growth and vice versa. Hyperactivity holds prognostic value for tumor progression, but how does pathological activity relate to neurocognitive deficits? We investigated the relationship between brain activity in the neurocognitively relevant frontoparietal network (FPN) and the peritumoral area and EF in glioma patients. Methods: We conducted neuropsychological assessments and measured resting-state brain activity using magnetoencephalography in 37 glioma patients (preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up) and 25 matched healthy controls (HCs). Broadband power and offset served as proxies for neuronal activity and were averaged separately for the peritumoral area and the FPN regions ipsilateral and contralateral to the tumor hemisphere. EF was operationalized with the concept-shifting and word-fluency tests. We used linear regression to relate activity and EF. Results: Brain activity became more deviant over time in the peritumoral area. While higher broadband power in the right FPN was associated with lower word fluency in HCs, there was no association between brain activity and EF in patients, neither at baseline nor longitudinally. Conclusions: These results indicate that resting-state activity might not hold clinical relevance for EF in glioma patients, while it does become more deviant over time. Patient-specific deviations in functional network properties, such as the integration of the network, may be more relevant for EF in this patient group, as a recent study in the same cohort has shown.
