Functional Connectivity of the Dorsal and Ventral Attention Network and Its Role in Attentional Disengagement.

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
backgroundThe interplay between the ventral attention network (VAN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) is crucial for attentional control, particularly in disengagement processes. While task-based fMRI studies have extensively characterized their roles, less is known about whether intrinsic connectivity patterns during rest within these networks predict individual differences in attentional disengagement. This study investigates the relationship between resting-state functional VAN-DAN connectivity and disengagement efficiency.
methodsAn initial sample of 85 healthy participants completed a spatial cueing task, assessing attentional disengagement through reaction time differences between valid and invalid cue trials. Resting-state fMRI data were collected and analyzed using seed-based connectivity methods. Functional connectivity between key VAN and DAN regions-frontal eye fields (FEF), intraparietal sulcus (IPS), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), and supramarginal gyrus (SMG)-was examined in relation to a disengagement index, representing cue validity effects.
resultsParticipants exhibited slower responses to invalidly cued targets, with a greater disengagement cost in the left visual field. Functional connectivity analyses revealed that VAN regions, particularly the right IFG and SMG, showed stronger associations with attentional disengagement than DAN regions. Increased FC with occipito-temporal areas correlated with heightened validity effects in the left hemifield, while greater connectivity with medial parietal and cingulate regions was linked to reduced disengagement asymmetry. Interhemispheric connectivity also played a modulatory role in attentional control.
conclusionThese findings underscore the role of VAN over DAN in attentional disengagement, emphasizing the right IFG and SMG in reorienting attention. Greater connectivity with occipito-temporal regions may hinder disengagement, while enhanced functional connectivity with medial cortical areas facilitates adaptive shifts in attention. This study highlights the importance of intrinsic VAN-DAN interactions in shaping attentional control and provides insights into the neural mechanisms underlying disengagement efficiency.
