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

The hippocampus and cerebellum are traditionally considered to support distinct memory systems, yet evidence from nonhuman species indicates a close relationship during spatial-mnemonic behaviour, with hippocampal projections to and from several cerebellar regions. However, little is known about this relationship in humans. To address this, we applied seed-based functional connectivity analysis to resting-state fMRI data from 479 cognitively normal participants aged 18-88 years. We identified significant functional correlations between the hippocampus and widespread areas of cerebellar cortex, particularly lobules HIV, HV, HVI, HVIIA (Crus I and II), HIX, and HX. Moreover, anterior hippocampus showed stronger connectivity with right Crus II, whereas posterior hippocampus was strongly connected to vermal lobule V. Finally, we observed age-related reductions in functional connectivity between the hippocampus and lobules HVI and HV. These findings provide insight into the topography of hippocampal-cerebellar functional organisation in humans and the influence of ageing on this system.
