Functional specialization of the human posterior parietal cortex in visually and proprioceptively driven reaching corrections.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
While online adjustments during reaching are essential for interacting with our dynamic environment, the specialized contributions of subregions of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigate the distinct roles of human medial PPC areas V6A (hV6A) and PEc (hPEc) in mediating online reaching corrections elicited by visual and proprioceptive perturbations. Here we deliver online repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) during the early stages of reaching corrections triggered by an unexpected shift of the visual target or by the application of an external force to the wrist. Our findings reveal that rTMS over hV6A selectively impairs the ability to correct reach trajectories for visual perturbations, whereas stimulation of hPEc interferes only with proprioceptively driven corrections. These findings confirm the critical role of hV6A in processing visual feedback, demonstrate the causal involvement of hPEc in integrating proprioceptive information to guide motor adjustments, and show how the PPC selectively engages specialized neural circuits to adapt motor control strategies according to the sensory nature of the reaching perturbation.
