Neuroticism and conscientiousness respectively positively and negatively correlated with the network characteristic path length in dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex: A resting-state fNIRS study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundAccumulating evidence shows that the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is implicated in personality traits. In this study, resting-state functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) combined with small-world analysis was utilized to examine the relationship between the network properties of dlPFC and personality traits.
methodsThirty college students (aged between 20 and 29) were recruited from the University of Macau campus, whose personality scores were accessed with the NEO-FFT questionnaire. Graph theory combined with resting-state fNIRS data was used to quantify the network properties of dlPFC, whereas Pearson correlation analysis was performed to generate the relationship between the small-world indicators and personality scores.
resultsCompared to matched random networks, the resting-state brain networks exhibited a larger clustering coefficient (C
conclusionsThe resting-state functional brain networks in dlPFC exhibited the small-world properties. In addition, participants with higher conscientiousness scores showed a shorter L
