The experiment of the Mozart effect revisited: Modulations of the functional network according to EEG correlations.
Article in MethodsX, 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
The Mozart effect has been the subject of lively but also controversial debate in literature during the last decades. Positive as well as negative results have been reported, using different musical stimuli as well as cognitive tasks. In addition, only a few studies included EEG recordings in the experimental design, and when they did, they focused exclusively on spectral power densities. A more complete experimental design is presented considering different stimuli as well as three different cognitive tasks including EEG measurements. Furthermore, we propose a novel strategy for the analysis of the functional network of brain dynamics, based on deviations from a universal stationary cross-correlation pattern.•An experimental design of the Mozart effect is presented, considering different cognitive tasks and two different musical stimuli, besides a control group•The presence of a stationary cross-correlation pattern that is nearly independent of the physilogical brain state is illustrated.•It is demostrasted that that deviations from the stationary pattern serve much better for the distinction of different task settings.
