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

Background: Given that adolescence is a critical epoch in the onset of schizophrenia, studying aberrant brain changes in adolescent-onset schizophrenia, particularly in patients with drug-naive first-episode schizophrenia, is important to understand the biological mechanism of this disorder. Previous resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown abnormal functional connectivity in separate hemispheres in patients with adult-onset schizophrenia. Our aim to study adolescent-onset schizophrenia can provide clues for the early aetiology of schizophrenia. Method: A total of 48 drug-naïve, first-episode, adolescent-onset schizophrenia outpatients and 31 healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. Data were subjected to voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity and support vector machine analyses. Results: Compared with the healthy controls, the adolescent-onset schizophrenia group showed significantly lower voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity values in different brain regions, including the fusiform gyrus, superior temporal gyrus/insula, precentral gyrus, and precuneus. Decreased voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity values in the superior temporal gyrus/insula were significantly correlated with Trail-Making Test: Part A performance (r = -0.437, P = .002). A combination of the voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity values in the precentral gyrus and precuneus may be used to discriminate patients with adolescent-onset schizophrenia from controls with satisfactory classification results, which showed sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 87.09%, and accuracy of 94.93%. Conclusion: Our findings highlight resting-state interhemispheric FC abnormalities within the sensorimotor network of patients with adolescent-onset schizophrenia and confirm the relationship between adolescent-onset schizophrenia and adult-onset schizophrenia. These findings suggest that reduced interhemispheric connectivity within the sensorimotor network has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
