Investigating the Neural Correlates of the Attention Training Technique Using a Novel fMRI Paradigm for Measuring Attentional Control.
Article in Human brain mapping, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Attentional control (AC) plays a causal role in various mental disorders and, within the metacognitive model, contributes to maladaptive repetitive cognitive processes such as rumination and worry. The Attention Training Technique (ATT), an auditory psychotherapeutic intervention, improves AC and is associated with the efficiency of large-scale fronto-parietal control networks (FPN). This study investigates the neural correlates of ATT by applying a newly tailored fMRI paradigm, focusing on FPN engagement and its relationship with AC. We adapted ATT to examine neural responses during ATT compared to passive listening in ATT-naïve participants (N = 43) and ensured the robustness of results by validating the findings in a second independent sample (N = 28). To optimize the paradigm, we compared two ATT conditions, rapidly switching (ATT
