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

This study investigates how the structural nodal efficiency of selected executive-function-related regions moderates the relationship between individual and collaborative performance on divergent thinking tasks and Chinese Radical Remote Associates Tests (CRRAT). Participants completed the Alternative Uses Task and CRRAT in individual and paired-player modes, while undergoing diffusion-based structural brain imaging. Results revealed that the nodal efficiency of selected nodes located within the superior frontal, inferior frontal, anterior cingulate, and posterior cingulate regions significantly moderated the relationship between individual and collaborative creativity performance. When node efficiency in these regions was higher, individual performance positively predicted collaborative performance. Additionally, the nodal efficiency of selected nodes located within the superior and middle temporal regions moderated the relationship between individual and paired performances on the CRRAT. In these regions, lower node efficiency was associated with a stronger positive predictive relationship between individual and collaborative CRRAT performance. These findings highlight the moderating effects of regional structural network efficiency in creativity, offering neural insights into individual and collaborative cognitive performance in one-on-one interactive contexts.
