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

Estimation of the intrinsic dimensionality of fMRI data is an important part of data analysis that helps to separate the signal of interest from noise. We have studied multiple methods of dimensionality estimation proposed in the literature and used these estimates to select a subset of principal components that was subsequently processed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Using simulated multivariate Gaussian data, we show that the dimensionality that optimizes signal detection (in terms of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) metric) goes through a transition from many dimensions to a single dimension as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio. This transition happens when the loci of activation are organized into a spatial network and the variance of the networked, task-related signals is high enough for the signal to be easily detected in the data. We show that reproducibility of activation maps is a metric that captures this switch in intrinsic dimensionality. Except for reproducibility, all of the methods of dimensionality estimation we considered failed to capture this transition: optimization of Bayesian evidence, minimum description length, supervised and unsupervised LDA prediction, and Stein's unbiased risk estimator. This failure results in sub-optimal ROC performance of LDA in the presence of a spatially distributed network, and may have caused LDA to underperform in many of the reported comparisons in the literature. Using real fMRI data sets, including multi-subject group and within-subject longitudinal analysis we demonstrate the existence of these dimensionality transitions in real data.
