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

purpose of reviewAn exciting advance in the field of neuroimaging is the acquisition and processing of very large data sets (so called 'big data'), permitting large-scale inferences that foster a greater understanding of brain function in health and disease. Yet what we are clearly lacking are quantitative integrative tools to translate this understanding to the individual level to lay the basis for personalized medicine. RECENT

findingsHere we address this challenge through a review on how the relatively new field of neuroinformatics modeling has the capacity to track brain network function at different levels of inquiry, from microscopic to macroscopic and from the localized to the distributed. In this context, we introduce a new and unique multiscale approach, The Virtual Brain (TVB), that effectively models individualized brain activity, linking large-scale (macroscopic) brain dynamics with biophysical parameters at the microscopic level. We also show how TVB modeling provides unique biological interpretable data in epilepsy and stroke. SUMMARY: These results establish the basis for a deliberate integration of computational biology and neuroscience into clinical approaches for elucidating cellular mechanisms of disease. In the future, this can provide the means to create a collection of disease-specific models that can be applied on the individual level to personalize therapeutic interventions. VIDEO ABSTRACT.
