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

While extensive work has mapped the anatomical regions that support semantic processing in healthy adults, the neural dynamics of such processing remain poorly understood. Herein, we use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to assess semantic-relatedness judgements (i.e., related versus unrelated) in 150 healthy adults. MEG data were transformed into the time-frequency domain and significant task-related oscillatory responses were imaged using a beamformer. Whole-brain, voxel-wise linear mixed-effects (LME) models were used to assess conditional differences while controlling for age. We find that participants respond slower during semantically-unrelated compared to -related trials and have stronger theta oscillations during unrelated trials in bilateral inferior frontal, parietal, and hippocampal areas, with the reverse pattern in the left superior parietal. In the gamma range, participants exhibit stronger gamma oscillations during related trials in prefrontal, hippocampal, and occipital regions. These findings suggest that theta and gamma oscillations may serve distinct roles in semantic processing.
