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

Schizophrenia disrupts both how people perceive the world and how they express and act on their thoughts, yet these symptoms are usually studied separately. Using magnetoencephalography during multisensory and motor tasks, we tested whether reduced event-related beta-band (15 to 30 hertz) modulation, a signal implicated in predictive control, provides a candidate neural marker across these domains. Compared to healthy individuals, patients showed diminished beta changes during sensory processing and movement completion, suggesting reduced flexibility in updating internal models. This neural pattern covaried with audiovisual simultaneity-judgment behavior, disorganized natural speech, and greater clinical severity. These findings suggest that distributed beta modulation may serve as a candidate cross-domain marker associated with perceptual, motor, and language disturbances in schizophrenia, motivating future studies that directly test predictive updating mechanisms.
