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

The human brain is a dynamic system that incorporates the evolution of local activities and the reconfiguration of brain interactions. Reoccurring brain patterns, regarded as "brain states", have revealed new insights into the pathophysiology of brain disorders, particularly schizophrenia. However, previous studies only focus on the dynamics of either brain activity or connectivity, ignoring the temporal co-evolution between them. In this work, we propose to capture dynamic brain states with covarying activity-connectivity and probe schizophrenia-related brain abnormalities. We find that the state-based activity and connectivity show high correspondence, where strong and antagonistic connectivity is accompanied with strong low-frequency fluctuations across the whole brain while weak and sparse connectivity co-occurs with weak low-frequency fluctuations. In addition, graphical analysis shows that connectivity network efficiency is associated with the fluctuation of brain activities and such associations are different across brain states. Compared with healthy controls, schizophrenia patients spend more time in weakly-connected and -activated brain states but less time in strongly-connected and -activated brain states. schizophrenia patients also show lower efficiency in thalamic regions within the "strong" states. Interestingly, the atypical fractional occupancy of one brain state is correlated with individual attention performance. Our findings are replicated in another independent dataset and validated using different brain parcellation schemes. These converging results suggest that the brain spontaneously reconfigures with covarying activity and connectivity and such co-evolutionary property might provide meaningful information on the mechanism of brain disorders which cannot be observed by investigating either of them alone.
