How does the cerebellum contribute to cognitive functions?
Review in PLoS biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Over the past 70 years, neuroscience has gained a deep understanding of how the cerebellum supports basic motor functions. Anatomical, clinical, and neuroimaging studies, however, have also firmly established that the cerebellum holds an important role in cognition. Even though this topic has received considerable attention, we still do not know the exact nature of this contribution. This Unsolved Mystery reviews known facts about how the cerebellum contributes to cognition and identifies roadblocks that have prevented the development of a unified theory. Addressing these key questions should help the field develop the testable, falsifiable hypotheses that are needed to solve this intriguing question.
