Altered spontaneous brain activity in patients with strabismic amblyopia: A resting-state fMRI study using regional homogeneity analysis.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 present study aimed to compare the regional homogeneity (ReHo) of resting-state brain function between subjects with strabismic amblyopia and normal controls. A total of 12 adult patients with strabismic amblyopia and 34 age- and gender-matched normal controls were enrolled in the present study. All patients were subjected to resting-state magnetic resonance imaging using a Siemens Trio 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner. ReHo values of the whole brain were calculated and standardized. An independent-samples t-test was used to analyze the differences in ReHo values between the two groups. Patients with strabismic amblyopia exhibited reduced ReHo values in certain parts of the occipital lobe, including the lingual gyrus, cuneus and superior occipital gyrus. Increased ReHo values were observed in the precuneus and certain parts of the prefrontal cortex of patients with strabismic amblyopia, including the superior frontal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus. The ReHo index of the precuneus was negatively correlated with age. However, there was no correlation between the ReHo values and the visual acuity of patients with strabismic amblyopia. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the greatest area under curve (AUC) value was in the medial prefrontal cortex (AUC=0.864). The results of the present study suggested that visual information processing may be impaired in visual areas V1 and V2. Furthermore, adult patients with strabismic amblyopia exhibited brain plasticity that compensated for visuomotor coordination and visuospatial imagery deficits.
