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

The brain controls various cognitive functions in a robust and efficient way. What is the control architecture of brain networks that enables such robust and optimal control? Is this brain control architecture distinct from that of other complex networks? Here, we developed a framework to delineate a control architecture of a complex network that is compatible with the behavior of the network and applied the framework to structural brain networks and other complex networks. As a result, we revealed that the brain networks have a distributed and overlapping control architecture governed by a small number of control nodes, which may be responsible for the robust and efficient brain functions. Moreover, our artificial network evolution analysis showed that the distributed and overlapping control architecture of the brain network emerges when it evolves toward increasing both robustness and efficiency.
