Structural Connectivity of Functionally Defined Episodic Memory Networks: A Large-Scale Connectome-Behavior Study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundPrevious task-based fMRI work in a large cohort of young adults identified nine large-scale functional brain networks whose encoding-related responsivity was robustly associated with individual differences in episodic memory. It remains unclear whether structural connectivity within these task-fMRI-defined networks explains inter-individual variability in memory performance.
methodsWe analyzed diffusion MRI data from 1,156 young adults who completed a picture-free-recall task. For each participant, we reconstructed whole-brain diffusion MRI tractography and extracted within-network connectivity for nine independent components previously defined by task-based fMRI. Edge-wise multiple regression models related within-network connectivity strength to free recall performance, controlling for age and sex. False discovery rate (FDR) correction was applied across all tested edges and networks.
resultsNo associations between within-network structural connectivity and memory performance survived FDR correction. Several edges showed nominal (uncorrected) associations with memory, corresponding to very small effect sizes (maximum r < 0.1).
conclusionsIn contrast to previous findings for functional responsivity during encoding, within-network structural connectivity in these functionally defined episodic memory networks is only weakly related to individual differences in memory in young healthy adults.
