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

objectiveTo explore shared brain structural alterations in patients diagnosed with mental disorders who experience own-thought auditory verbal hallucinations (OTAVHs).

methodsA cohort of 143 first-diagnosis, nonmedicated patients with OTAVHs was enrolled: 25 with schizophrenia (FUSCH-OTAVH), 20 with major depression disorder (FUMDD-OTAVH), 28 with bipolar disorder (FUBD-OTAVH), 22 patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (FUPTSD-OTAVH), 21 with anxiety disorder (FUAD-OTAVH), and 27 with borderline personality disorder (FUBPD-OTAVH); 25 healthy controls (HCs) participated. The Auditory Hallucinations Rating Scale (AHRS), multiple psychometric scales, voxel-based morphometry (VBM), tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), and multiple regression were used.

resultsCompared with HCs, patients had increased occipital cortex, dorsal prefrontal cortex (PFC), and striatum gray matter volumes (GMVs), a reduced insular cortex (IC) GMV, and an impaired frontooccipital fasciculus. The following differences were found versus HCs: FUSCH-OTAVH, reduced PFC and occipital GMVs, increased striatum and thalamus GMVs, impaired arcuate fasciculus, u-shaped bundle, optic tract, and upper longitudinal fasciculus (LF); FUMDD-OTAVH, increased posterior frontotemporal junction and hippocampus GMVs; FUMN-OTAVH, increased posterior frontotemporal junction and parietal cortex GMVs, reduced hippocampus GMV, impaired upper LF; FUPTSD-OTAVH, increased temporal, hippocampus, and nucleus accumbens GMVs; FUBPD-OTAVH, increased frontotemporal junction and hippocampus GMVs, impaired upper/lower LF; and FUAD-OTAVH, increased frontal and temporal cortex, hippocampus GMVs.

conclusionsThe present findings provide evidence consistent with a bottom-up and top-down reciprocal action dysfunction hypothesis of AVHs and with the dopamine hypothesis of AVHs. We observed specific features related to OTAVHs in patients with different mental disorders. The findings, though complex, provide clues for further studies of specific mental disorders.
