1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Contextual processing enables the brain to integrate environmental cues for adaptive emotional perception. It is crucial to understand how this ability operates in dynamic environments of short video viewing and how the brain supports it. In this study, we utilized behavioral and neuroimaging experiments to examine contextual processing during short video viewing. Compared with single-face clips, face-context-face sequences elicited coherent emotional perceptions of neutral faces from emotional contexts. A distributed brain network was involved in the top-down modulation of contextual processing. Temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and precuneus showed sustained engagement during context integration. Activity in TPJ and insula was associated with valence and arousal ratings, respectively. Under negative contexts, global functional segregation facilitated contextual processing, and weaker TPJ-insula connectivity corresponded to stronger contextual effects. This study advances the understanding of contextual processing in the digital media age and may inform future investigations into neural correlates of contextual processing dysfunction in psychiatric conditions.
