Altered amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation in basal ganglia correlates to pulmonary ventilation function in COPD patients: A resting-state fMRI study.

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
introductionPatients under chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been reported to be associated with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI). However, it is still largely unknown whether the aberrant resting-state spontaneous neuronal activity pattern reflected by the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analysis will be associated with the CI in COPD patients. MATERIALS: A total of 28 COPD patients and 26 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Of all the subjects, structural and functional MRI data, spirometry tests performance and neuropsychological assessments of different cognitive domains were collected. Voxel-based two-sample t tests were used to detect brain regions showing differences in the ALFF value between COPD patients and healthy controls. An additional fMRI runs with supplementary oxygen delivery were employed to explore the impact of elevated partial pressure of oxygen (PaO
resultsMore extensive white matter lesion was detected in COPD patients. COPD patients exhibit decreased ALFF value in bilateral basal ganglia areas and right thalamus, and aberrant ALFF value is correlated with PaO
conclusionsCOPD patients mainly exhibit impaired executive function but not long-term memory in cognitive function assessment. Aberrant ALFF alteration in the deep brain may be directly related to lower PaO
