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 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
Listening to music is a ubiquitous human activity, but little is known about its functional cerebral correlates. We investigated the dynamics of fMRI-based brain activation patterns associated with two musical compositions and examined whether these patterns are modulated by the degree of musical expertise. Specifically, 24 aspiring professionals and 17 amateur musicians listened to a baroque composition by J. S. Bach and an early modern piece by A. Webern. Using measures of dynamic and static functional connectivity and graph theory, we identified two distinct brain states: one characterized by higher modularity (greater segregation), and the other by higher global efficiency (greater integration). Participants spent more time in the segregated state while listening to Bach, and more frequently shifted to the integrated state during Webern's piece. An anticorrelation was observed between segregation and music complexity as measured by permutation entropy, indicating that music with higher complexity elicited more integrated brain states. Individuals with greater musical expertise demonstrated higher global efficiency during the Webern piece and engaged more frontal, temporal, and parietal regions as functional hubs. These findings suggest that musical form and expertise jointly shape the brain's functional organization during naturalistic music listening.
