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

Crossmodal interactions involve crosstalk between different cortical areas and dynamic recruitment of regions, which is crucial for integrating sensory information into a coherent percept. Despite their significance, the dynamic cortical networks underlying the crossmodal influence of auditory information on visual motion processing-particularly in terms of temporally resolved EEG connectivity-have yet to be comprehensively characterized. In the present study, we investigated frequency-specific networks underlying audiovisual interactions during motion and speed estimation. Functional networks were generated using directed transfer function (DTF) and adaptive DTF (ADTF) to estimate connectivity patterns of electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Network-based statistical analyses revealed frequency-specific networks in the theta and alpha bands, which supported long-range communication between occipital/parieto-occipital, parietal, and frontal regions during audiovisual interactions compared to unisensory visual motion processing. Graph theory analyses demonstrated a transition from localized and segregated processing to global integration, emphasizing cortical network reorganization according to the demands of sensory processing. Moreover, these analyses further revealed frequency-specific shifts in connectivity over time, with low-frequency oscillations exhibiting sustained connectivity increases, while high-frequency bands showed transient patterns, reflecting the temporal flexibility of neural networks. These findings illustrate how local and global network modulations reflect the brain's dynamic reorganization, balancing integration and segregation during crossmodal influences.
