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 investigate the regional homogeneity (ReHo) between unipolar depression (UD) and bipolar disorder (BD), and to search for brain imaging markers for distinguishing UD and BD.

methodsA total of 58 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of UD in DSM-Ⅳ, 40 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of BD in DSM-Ⅳ and 54 healthy controls (HC) completed the resting-state functional magnetic resonance (rs-fMRI) scans. The ReHo of the three groups was compared and Pearson correlation analysis was performed between the ReHo values and the clinical symptoms.

results(1) Significant differences were found in the right hippocampus, right parahippocampal gyrus, right Inferior orbitofrontal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right inferior temporal gyrus, and right middle occipital gyrus across the three groups. (2) Compared to HC, the ReHo in the right parahippocampal gyrus in UD significantly increased. (3) When compared to HC, the ReHo in the right hippocampus in BD significantly increased. The ReHo in the right middle occipital gyrus decreased. (4) Compared to UD, BD exhibited significantly decreased ReHo in the right inferior temporal gyrus. No correlations were observed between the scores of 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDMD-24), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and the ReHo values of altered brain regions between BD and UD.

conclusionThe results suggest that there was a considerable difference in the ReHo of brain among UD, BD, and HCs. ReHo in the right inferior temporal gyrus showed significant differences between BD and UD that might serve as neuroimaging markers to identify BD and UD.
