Disrupted brain functional network topology in unilateral acute brainstem ischemic stroke.
Article in Brain imaging and behavior, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
This study aimed to investigate the topological properties of brain functional connectome in unilateral acute brainstem ischemic stroke using graph theory. Fifty-three acute brainstem ischemic stroke patients, consisted of 27 left-sided and 26 right-sided brainstem stroke patients, and 20 age, gender, and education-matched healthy controls (HCs) were recruited to undergo a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scan in this study. Graph theory analyses were then used to examine the group-specific topological properties of the functional connectomes seperately. The unilateral acute brainstem stroke patients and HCs all exhibited "small-world" brain network topology. The functional connectome of the left brainstem stroke patients showed significant differences in all topological properties while the right brainstem stroke patients showed a significant increase in clustering coefficient Cp (p < 0.001) and local efficiency E
