Space and time in words: exploring neural overlap and specificity.
Article in Behavioral and brain functions : BBF, 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
backgroundA common magnitude system-consistently involving the right intraparietal sulcus (IPS)-has been proposed to support the representation of space, time and numerosity. While shared mechanisms are acknowledged, domain-specific contributions have also been suggested. Among these, the role of the right precuneus remains debated, with inconclusive evidence regarding its involvement in spatial and temporal processing. Translating this question into the language domain and within a grounded cognition framework, we investigated the causal contribution of the IPS and precuneus to the processing of spatial and temporal concepts (e.g., circuit, eternity) using a state-dependent Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) priming paradigm. Twenty healthy participants received stimulation over the IPS and precuneus, and a sham stimulation over the control site (vertex).
resultsResults showed that stimulation of the IPS abolished the priming effect observed under the sham control condition for both spatial and temporal concepts, whereas stimulation of the precuneus selectively disrupted priming for temporal concepts only.
conclusionsThese findings support the role of the right IPS as a key area for magnitude processing in language, while also highlighting a more specific contribution of the precuneus-particularly its ventral portion-to temporal concepts.
