Spatiotemporal dynamics of frontoparietal networks in semantic intuitive decision-making.
Article in iScience, 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
According to Bowers' continuity model, semantic intuitive decision-making involves a gradual transition from an implicit guiding stage to an explicit integration stage. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in 45 participants performing a word triad association task, we investigated the localized hemodynamic activity, functional connectivity architecture, and the neural dynamics distinguishing the guiding and integration stages of semantic intuition. Imaging results revealed a spatiotemporal dissociation between the two stages: the guiding stage predominantly recruited superior/middle frontal and sensorimotor regions, whereas the integration stage engaged distinct frontoparietal circuits. Temporally, semantic encoding during the guiding stage progressed from the left middle frontal gyrus to the medial superior frontal gyrus, while integration-stage processing selectively involved right frontoparietal networks. These findings provide a neurobiological framework for understanding the distinct neural architectures underlying the two stages of semantic intuitive decision-making and offer a basis for investigating individual differences in non-deliberative cognitive processes.
