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

backgroundLongitudinal neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that adolescence is a crucial developmental period of continued brain growth and change. Motivated by both achievements in graph signal processing and recent evidence that some brain areas act as hubs connecting functionally specialized systems, we propose an approach to detect these regions from a spectral analysis perspective. In particular, as the human brain undergoes substantial development throughout adolescence, we evaluate functional network difference among age groups from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measurements. NEW

methodsWe treated these measurements as graph signals defined on the parcellated functional brain regions and proposed a graph Laplacian learning based Fourier transform (GLFT) to transform the original graph signals into the frequency domain. Eigen-analysis was conducted afterwards to study the behaviors of the corresponding brain regions, which enabled the characterization of brain maturation.

resultWe first evaluated our method on the synthetic data and then applied it to resting state and task fMRI data from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort (PNC) dataset, comprised of normally developing adolescents from 8 to 22 years of age. The method provided an accuracy of 94.9% in distinguishing different adolescent stages and we detected 13 hubs from resting state fMRI and 16 hubs from task fMRI related to brain maturation. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsThe proposed GLFT demonstrated its superiority over conventional graph Fourier transform and alternative graph Fourier transform with high predictive power.

conclusionThe method provides a powerful approach for extracting brain connectivity patterns and identifying hub regions.
