The cerebellar components of the human language network.
Article in Neuron, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Despite ample evidence of cerebellar contributions to cognition, including language, its precise role remains debated. We systematically characterize cerebellar language-responsive regions using precision fMRI. We identify four cerebellar regions that respond to language across modalities (experiments 1a and 1b, n = 754). One region-spanning Crus I/II/lobule VIIb-is selective for language relative to diverse non-linguistic tasks (experiments 2a-2f, n = 732), and the rest exhibit mixed selectivity. Similar to the neocortical language system, the language-selective region is engaged during comprehension and production (experiments 3a and 3b, n = 100), shows sensitivity to linguistic difficulty (experiment 3c, n = 5), and responds to both social and nonsocial sentences (experiment 3d, n = 10). Finally, all four regions, but especially Crus I/II/VIIb, are functionally connected to the neocortical language system (experiment 4, n = 85). We propose that these cerebellar regions constitute components of the extended language network, with one region closely mirroring the neocortical network and the rest plausibly integrating information from diverse neocortical regions.
