Alcohol impacts an fMRI marker of neural inhibition in humans and rodents.
Article in NeuroImage, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Inhibitory neuronal activity is a key regulator of brain function and is implicated in numerous developmental and psychiatric disorders. However, measuring inhibition in vivo remains a challenge. The Hurst exponent of the fMRI signal has been shown to correlate spatially with cellular measures of neural inhibition, but there have been few causal tests of the relationship between the Hurst exponent and neural inhibition. Here, we used alcohol, a drug with known impacts on inhibition, as a way to evaluate the validity of the Hurst exponent as a marker of neural inhibition across rats and humans. In rats, acute alcohol administration significantly reduced the cortical Hurst exponent, with the spatial distribution of effects closely aligned with GABA
