The ability to drive cortical networks in the low gamma range differs between sexes.

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
The brain's ability to synchronize with periodic auditory stimuli is widely used to study gamma-range neural activity. Chirp-like stimulation, covering a broad frequency range, elicits envelope-following responses (ERFs) that enable assessment across multiple frequencies and estimation of the individual gamma frequency (IGF). However, the impact of sex differences on EFR remains understudied. We compared auditory ERFs in the 30-60 Hz range between females and males. Electroencephalography was recorded in 80 healthy young adults (42 females; 26.07 ± 4.28 years) using chirp-like auditory stimulation. Females were tested during the early follicular phase to minimize hormonal effects. Phase-locking index (PLI) and event-related spectral perturbation (ERSP) were analyzed across nine fronto-central electrodes. Females showed significantly lower PLI (35-43 Hz) and ERSP (35-46 Hz), while IGFs were comparable. These results emphasize sex-related influences on gamma auditory responses and the need for sex-specific normative baselines in clinical applications.
