Brain network communication: concepts, models and applications.
Review in Nature reviews. Neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 126 papers.
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
Understanding communication and information processing in nervous systems is a central goal of neuroscience. Over the past two decades, advances in connectomics and network neuroscience have opened new avenues for investigating polysynaptic communication in complex brain networks. Recent work has brought into question the mainstay assumption that connectome signalling occurs exclusively via shortest paths, resulting in a sprawling constellation of alternative network communication models. This Review surveys the latest developments in models of brain network communication. We begin by drawing a conceptual link between the mathematics of graph theory and biological aspects of neural signalling such as transmission delays and metabolic cost. We organize key network communication models and measures into a taxonomy, aimed at helping researchers navigate the growing number of concepts and methods in the literature. The taxonomy highlights the pros, cons and interpretations of different conceptualizations of connectome signalling. We showcase the utility of network communication models as a flexible, interpretable and tractable framework to study brain function by reviewing prominent applications in basic, cognitive and clinical neurosciences. Finally, we provide recommendations to guide the future development, application and validation of network communication models.
