Critical Dynamics in the Association Cortex Predict Higher Intelligence in Typically Developing Children.

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
Neuronal network models have indicated that the so-called critical dynamics facilitate efficient information processing, while criticality disruptions were linked to neuropathology through excitation/inhibition (E/I) imbalances. However, there is limited empirical evidence for a relationship between critical brain dynamics and cognition in healthy children and adolescents. Here, we investigate how these dynamics relate to intelligence in a developing cohort. We recorded eyes-open resting EEG in 128 children (6-19 years, 72 female) and quantified near-critical dynamics in the alpha-band using functional excitation/inhibition ratio (
