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

Over the past six months, we have been in discussion with you and the authors of a recent publication in NeuroImage: Clinical (Amyloid pathology fingerprint differentiates posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. Mohamed AZ, et al. Neuroimaging Clinical 2018 Jun 5;19:716-726). We raised a variety of methodological concerns with Mohamed and colleagues and discussion about these concerns led to their preparation of a corrigendum to be published in NeuroImage: Clinical. We appreciate that the authors were responsive to our concerns and made a number of changes as noted in the corrigendum. Ultimately, however, the corrigendum does not address the primary conclusions of the study, which we were unable to replicate. We are troubled by the publication of results that cannot be replicated using identical methods and participant data. This is a letter to the authors to address these concerns.
