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

Understanding the neural basis of personal space (PS) is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of social behavior. We investigated EEG responses in healthy adults viewing approaching faces designed to simulate intrusions into PS. Approaching faces elicited stronger right N170 modulation than static faces, with weaker effects for non-face objects. Time-frequency analyses revealed early alpha-power decreases over the frontal region of interest (ROI), followed by later alpha-power decreases and gamma-power increases over the parietal ROI, selectively for approaching faces. Motion information was decoded earlier in the parietal ROI than in the frontal ROI, with the frontal ROI showing face-specific sensitivity. We further demonstrated sustained parietal-to-frontal low-gamma feedforward signaling during face approach, with late frontal-to-parietal alpha-band feedback. Crucially, feedforward signaling predicted individual PS size. Together, these findings suggest that coordinated frontoparietal interactions may facilitate rapid detection and continuous monitoring of PS intrusions, providing a mechanistic framework for adaptive social defense.
