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

Recent studies have shown that quantitative description of gyral shape patterns offers a novel window to examine the relationship between brain structure and function. Along this research line, this paper examines a unique and interesting type of cortical gyral region where 3 different gyral crests meet, termed 3-hinge gyral region. We extracted 3-hinge gyral regions in macaque/chimpanzee/human brains, quantified and compared the relevant DTI-derived fiber densities in 3-hinge and 2-hinge gyral regions. Our observations consistently showed that DTI-derived fiber densities in 3-hinge regions are much higher than those in 2-hinge regions. Therefore, we hypothesize that besides the cortical expansion, denser fiber connections can induce the formation of 3-hinge gyri. To examine the biomechanical basis of this hypothesis, we constructed a series of 3-dimensional finite element soft tissue models based on continuum growth theory to investigate fundamental biomechanical mechanisms of consistent 3-hinge gyri formation. Our computational simulation results consistently showed that during gyrification gyral regions with higher concentrations of growing axonal fibers tend to form 3-hinge gyri. Our integrative approach combining neuroimaging data analysis and computational modeling appears effective in probing a plausible theory of 3-hinge gyri formation and providing new insights into structural and functional cortical architectures and their relationship.
