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

Here, we present a large-scale, multi-center dataset of combined magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, along with eye-tracking data and high-resolution structural MRI (T1); complementing with iEEG and fMRI datasets that are shared in accompanying data papers. The data was obtained through an adversarial collaboration between advocates of two neuroscientific theories of consciousness: the Global Neuronal Workspace Theory and the Integrated Information Theory. The dataset includes recordings from 100 individuals (mean age 22.79 ± 3.59 years, 54 female, all right-handed) across two research centers (UK and China), using a standardized data collection protocol. During the experiment, participants were asked to perform a non-speeded Go/No-Go target detection task, during which they were exposed to visual stimuli from four distinct categories (faces, objects, letters, false fonts) presented at different orientations (front, left, right view), and for varying durations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 s), under different task conditions. The quality of the data was assessed and organized according to the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). It is accompanied by extensive metadata to enhance reusability.
