Regional brain gray matter changes in adolescents with single ventricle heart disease.
Article in Neuroscience letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06322212 (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Blood Brain Barrier Improvement - A Randomized Clinical Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Adolescents with single ventricle heart disease (SVHD) show autonomic, mood, and cognitive deficits, indicating aberrations in brain areas that regulate these functions. However, the gray matter integrity in autonomic, mood, and cognitive control sites is unclear. We examined regional brain gray matter changes, using high-resolution T1-weighted images (3.0-T magnetic resonance scanner) with voxel based morphometry procedures, as well as mood and cognitive functions in SVHD (n=18; age, 15.7±1.1years; male, 10) and controls (n=31; age, 16.0±1.1years; male, 17). High-resolution T1-weighted images were realigned, gray matter tissue type partitioned, normalized to a common space, smoothed, and compared between groups (analysis of covariance; covariates, age and gender). The mood and cognitive scores were compared between groups using independent samples t-tests. SVHD subjects showed significantly altered mood and cognitive functions over controls. Significantly reduced gray matter emerged in multiple brain areas, including the thalamus, caudate nuclei, putamen, insula, prefrontal, post-central and precentral gyrus, occipital gyrus, para-hippocampal gyrus, temporal gyrus, and cerebellar sites in SVHD over controls. SVHD subjects show compromised gray matter integrity in autonomic, mood and cognitive control sites. The findings indicate that frequent deficits found in SVHD subjects have a brain structural basis in the condition.
