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

Audiovisual working memory (WM) plays a critical role in multisensory cognitive processing, yet its structural neural correlates remain insufficiently understood. This study employed an audiovisual dual n-back task paradigm and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to investigate gray matter volume (GMV) associations with behavioral performance in 60 healthy individuals. Behavioral results revealed a significant visual dominance effect under high cognitive load: visual performance remained stable across conditions, whereas auditory performance declined. Structural analyses showed modality-specific GMV correlations. Visual performance was positively associated with GMV in the insula, posterior cingulate, hippocampus, and inferior frontal regions, while auditory performance was negatively correlated with GMV in the angular and middle occipital gyri. Notably, the left cuneus exhibited a strong positive correlation with the Δd prime
