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

Understanding how the brain integrates information across senses is a fundamental challenge. We investigated the mechanisms underlying reciprocal yet temporally asymmetric auditory-visual interactions using high-density EEG during an auditory spatial attention task with auditory-only (A) and audiovisual (AV) stimuli. In the AV condition, sounds were paired with a central, task-irrelevant visual input. Participants attended to sounds on one side (attended) and ignored the other (unattended). Results showed that the visual input affected auditory processing through initial stimulus-driven suppression, reflected in the eliminated auditory contralateral sensory bias (selection negativity, 220-320 ms) and attenuated fronto-temporal connectivity and auditory contralateral occipital positivity (ACOP, 300-500 ms). Subsequently, auditory-to-visual cross-modal attentional spreading exhibited attention-dependent facilitation, emerging over occipital (300-600 ms) and centro-parietal (500-600 ms) regions. These findings support a competitive-facilitative framework in which stimulus-driven suppression precedes goal-driven facilitation, providing a key temporal constraint for computational and neurocognitive models of crossmodal integration.
