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

objectiveThis study aimed to systematically map the functional organization of the cingulate gyrus using cortical electrical stimulation (CES) guided by the Brainnetome Atlas.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed CES data from 234 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) implantation in the cingulate cortex. A total of 1141 stimulation sites across seven cingulate subregions (A23d, A24rv, A32p, A23v, A24cd, A23c, A32sg) were examined. Responses were categorized into somatosensory, motor, autonomic, vestibular, visual, emotional, memory, and pain-related phenomena.

resultsKey findings included: (1) Somatosensory responses (n = 99) were widely distributed, with motor responses localized to middle-posterior subregions (A23c/A24rv/A24cd); (2) Autonomic (n = 58) and emotional (n = 15) responses showed broad distribution, with ventral MCC (A24rv) as an affective hub; (3) Pain responses (n = 30) involved both anterior (affective) and posterior (spatial) subregions; (4) Memory deficits (n = 8) specifically localized to posterior cingulate (A23d); (5) Visual (n = 13) and vestibular (n = 51) responses clustered in posterior and middle-posterior regions, respectively.

conclusionThis study provides a systematic functional mapping of the cingulate gyrus using the Brainnetome Atlas, demonstrating its integrated role in diverse neurological functions. The findings advance understanding of cingulate pathophysiology and have implications for surgical planning in epilepsy.
