Aperiodic 1/f noise drives ripple activity in humans.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Sharp-wave ripples (SWR) are central for cognition and hallmark sleep in the rodent hippocampus. Recently, ripple-like activity was also observed in the human hippocampus and neocortex during wakefulness and sleep. However, ripple detection across brain states and cortical regions remains challenging. We demonstrate that putative ripples largely index noise originating from region-, state-, and demand-dependent modulation of cortical background activity. We establish the noise sensitivity for five common detection algorithms across three intracranial EEG studies during sleep and cognitive engagement. On average, 77% of awake ripples in the medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus, reflect false positives within the 1/f
