Audiovisual integration in reading among school-aged children: Evidence from combined fMRI and EEG.
Article in Developmental cognitive neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Reading fluency depends on rapid integration of print and speech, yet the spatiotemporal mechanisms supporting this integration in school aged children remain poorly understood. This study combined fMRI and EEG to examine AV integration (i.e., additive enhancement and congruency effects) during single- and multi-letter detection tasks in 7-10-year-old children (N = 56). Multiple neural indices were examined to capture complementary spatial and temporal aspects of AV integration. fMRI results revealed additive enhancement in bilateral STG and Heschl's gyrus, congruency effects in the left IFG and left STG and increased functional connectivity between left IFG and STG during incongruent trials. EEG showed convergent temporal dynamics, with AV-related enhancement in P200 amplitude (190-230 ms) and theta-band (4-7 Hz) power over left frontotemporal electrodes. Individual differences analyses showed that additive enhancement in left STG was associated with higher spelling (β = 0.28, p = 0.034). Congruency effects in left STG (β = 0.31, p = 0.018) and left IFG (β = 0.38, p = 0.004), as well as IFG-STG connectivity (β = 0.34, p = 0.011), were linked to higher reading efficiency. Larger P200 amplitude (β = 0.32, p = 0.015) and greater theta power (β = 0.31, p = 0.021; β = 0.28, p = 0.034) were associated with higher spelling and fluency, respectively. Findings delineate complementary sensory-convergence and conflict-monitoring pathways for print-speech integration and show that integrating spatial and temporal neural indices improves explanation of reading skills in school-aged children.
