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

Neuroticism is a heritable personality trait associated with negative emotionality; however, we know little regarding the association between the microscale and macroscale neurobiological substrates of human neuroticism. Cross-scale correlation analysis may provide such information. In this study, voxel-wise neuroimaging-neuroticism correlation analyses consistently showed a positive correlation between neuroticism and functional connectivity density (FCD) in the ventral striatum in 274 young Chinese adults. Partial least squares regression analysis showed that the FCD-neuroticism correlation map was significantly spatially correlated with gene expression profiles in each of six donated human brains. Neuroticism-related genes derived from the six donors consistently showed significant enrichment in the chemical synaptic transmission, circadian entrainment, long-term potentiation, inflammatory mediator regulation of transient receptor potential channels, and amphetamine addiction pathways. The protein-protein interaction analysis revealed four hub genes involved in the above pathways, including G protein subunit gamma 10, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C, prodynorphin, and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha. By combining multiscale correlation analyses and functional annotations, this study advances our understanding of the genetic and neural substrates of human neuroticism and emphasizes the importance of striatal functional properties in human neuroticism.
