Developmental variation in resting-state EEG spectral correlates of response inhibition in children and adolescents.

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.

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
Identifying electrophysiological markers of response inhibition in children and adolescents is of substantial importance. Although previous studies have examined associations between resting-state electroencephalography (rs-EEG) power and response inhibition, findings across frequency bands have been inconsistent, and evidence regarding band-ratio indices remains limited. To address these issues, the present study examined the associations between rs-EEG spectral indices and response inhibition in a large sample of 1654 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years, and further tested whether these associations varied as a function of age. Based on eyes-open rs-EEG recordings, relative power was extracted for the delta, theta, alpha, and beta bands, and three band-ratio indices were calculated: the theta/beta ratio (TBR), alpha/theta ratio (ATR), and beta/theta ratio (BTR). Response inhibition was assessed using the stop-signal task. Correlation analyses showed that higher delta power, theta power, and TBR were associated with poorer response inhibition, whereas higher alpha power, beta power, ATR, and BTR were associated with better response inhibition. Moderation analyses further indicated that age significantly moderated the associations of delta power, beta power, ATR, and BTR with response inhibition, whereas no significant age-moderating effects were observed for theta power, alpha power or TBR. Taken together, these findings suggest that the electrophysiological correlates of response inhibition are developmentally dynamic across childhood and adolescence. The present study provides a psychophysiological account of developmental variation in response inhibition and underscores the importance of age when interpreting resting-state EEG-behavior associations.
