Robust probabilistic measurement of structural-functional module consistency in infant brain development.
Article in Brain structure & function, 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
Brain network is commonly divided into modules for analyzing their functionally segregated roles for group-level analysis in neuroimaging studies. Here, we introduce stochastic modules within brain networks for a robust probabilistic measurement of structural-functional module consistency (SFMC) in a group of subjects. Specifically, a stochastic module can be regarded as the chance of a brain region across subjects potentially being assigned to a group-level sub-network, characterized as an assignment probability for this brain region. This novel method has two advantages for evaluating inhomogeneous modules in brain networks. The first is that it can robustly evaluate the consistency between brain structural and functional modules whose population sizes are not necessary the same, and the second is that it is able to take into account the inter-individual variability of the modules for the groups. Moreover, compared with the conventional structural-functional coupling approach, our stochastic module-based method reveals a more pronounced decline in the coupling between structure and function, indicating stronger developmental reorganization. Our results using the dataset from Baby Connectome Project (BCP) show that the SFMC decreases from 0 to 5 years old, and is greater in primary brain regions, such as visual areas, while lower in more advanced cognitive regions, including those related to attention, control, and default mode network.
