The Default Network and Social Cognition: New Insights and Future Directions.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The default network is known to engage more strongly "by default" during rest compared to many cognitive tasks. The network is also reliably associated with social cognition, suggesting some forms of social cognition may occur "by default" during rest. The goal of this opinion piece is to review accumulating evidence suggesting the default network performs two social cognitive processes during rest: social guiding and social consolidation. Social guiding refers to the observation that the immediate brain state participants enter in the default network as soon as they rest shapes their immediately following social cognition and behavior. Social consolidation refers to the observation that after participants are exposed to new social information, the default network commits the social information to memory during rest. After reviewing findings in support of social guiding and social consolidation, we offer directions for new research on these topics.
