Sex Differences in Functional Connectivity Patterns During Mental Rotation Task: An Event-Related EEG Study.

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
Numerous studies have shown sex differences in mental rotation (MR) tasks, but few have explored the internal neural influences through functional connectivity outcomes. To investigate neuro-activity influences on sex differences, this study conducted a revised MR task, examining low-scoring individuals via behavioral and electrophysiological measures. It obtained event-related potential (ERP) components from fronto-central channels and explored the functional connectivity of different frequency bands. The results showed males outperformed females, consistent with prior research. There were significant differences between the two sexes when completing the task successfully. Males had shorter response times, smaller ERP amplitudes, and stronger beta and gamma functional connectivity than females. Compared to females, males showed better behavioral performance, weaker fronto-parietal ERP activity, required less mental effort, and had more effective internal regulation in connectivity. This helps clarify the fundamental neural activities in MR between different sex groups.
