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

Effect size estimation is crucial for power analyses and experimental design, but poses unique challenges in fMRI research due to the complexity of the data and analysis techniques. Here, we introduce an interactive web application for exploring fMRI effect maps (neuroprismlab.shinyapps.io/BrainEffeX). We utilized large fMRI datasets to obtain precise voxel-wise and multivariate effect size estimates from "typical" fMRI study designs: brain-behavior correlation, task vs. rest, and between-group analyses of functional connectivity and task-based activation maps. The app is intentionally designed as a growing resource, and we welcome contributions of large (n > 500) datasets.
