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

Evidence from electrophysiological, functional, and structural research suggests that abnormal brain connectivity plays an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, most previous studies have focused on single modalities only, each of which is associated with its own limitations. Multimodal combinations can more effectively utilize various information, but previous multimodal research mostly focuses on extracting local features, rather than carrying out research based on network perspective. This study included 135 patients with schizophrenia and 148 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and structural magnetic resonance imaging data were used to construct the functional, anatomical, and morphological networks of each participant, respectively. These networks were used in combination with machine learning to identify more consistent biomarkers of brain connectivity and explore the relationships between different modalities. We found that although each modality had divergent connectivity biomarkers, the convergent pattern was that all were mostly located within the basal ganglia-thalamus-cortex circuit. Furthermore, using the biomarkers of these 3 modalities as a feature yielded the highest classification accuracy (91.75%, relative to a single modality), suggesting that the combination of multiple modalities could be effectively utilized to obtain complementary information regarding different mode networks; furthermore, this information could help distinguish patients. These findings provide direct evidence for the disconnection hypothesis of schizophrenia, suggesting that abnormalities in the basal ganglia-thalamus-cortex circuit can be used as a biomarker of schizophrenia.
