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

backgroundThe brain functional network connection mechanism mediating negative emotions is a central research focus in affective neuroscience. Although prior studies have identified key regions involved in emotion processing, the dynamic interactions among these regions remain inadequately understood.

methodsIn this study, stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) was employed to simultaneously record local field potentials from both human cortical and subcortical structures. This technique enables the tracking of dynamic time-frequency responses and functional connectivity patterns evoked by emotional stimuli with high spatial and temporal resolution.

resultsThe findings indicate that the amygdala (Amy), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), hippocampus (Hip), and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) play pivotal roles in negative emotion processing. Importantly, the experience of negative emotions depends on dynamic network interactions among these regions.

conclusionThis study provides direct electrophysiological evidence supporting previous investigations of emotional neural circuits based on electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Furthermore, it offers novel insights into the real-time network mechanisms underlying emotion processing.
