Disrupted cortical brain network in post-traumatic stress disorder patients: a resting-state electroencephalographic study.
Article in Translational psychiatry, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study aimed to examine the source-level cortical brain networks of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the graph theory using electroencephalography (EEG). Sixty-six cortical source signals were estimated from 78 PTSD and 58 healthy controls (HCs) of resting-state EEG. Four global indices (strength, clustering coefficient (CC), path length (PL) and efficiency) and one nodal index (CC) were evaluated in six frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, low beta, high beta and gamma). PTSD showed decreased global strength, CC and efficiency, in delta, theta, and low beta band and enhanced PL in theta and low beta band. In low beta band, the strength and CC correlated positively with the anxiety scores, while PL had a negative correlation. In addition, nodal CCs were reduced in PTSD in delta, theta and low beta band. Nodal CCs of theta band correlated negatively with rumination and re-experience symptom scores; while, nodal CCs in low beta band correlated positively with anxiety and pain severity. Inefficiently altered and symptom-dependent changes in cortical networks were seen in PTSD. Our source-level cortical network indices might be promising biomarkers for evaluating PTSD.
