Altered Brain Network Centrality in Patients with Adult Strabismus with Amblyopia: A Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Study.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore potential changes in brain function network activity in patients with adult strabismus with amblyopia (SA) using the voxel-wise degree centrality (DC) method. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 15 patients with SA (6 males, 9 females) and 15 sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). All subjects completed resting functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. Independent-sample t tests and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess DC value differences between groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate correlations between DC-changed brain regions and clinical data of patients with SA. RESULTS Compared with the HC group, DC values that were lower in patients with SA included the left middle frontal gyrus and bilateral angular gyri. Increases were observed in the left fusiform gyrus, right lingual gyrus, right middle occipital gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, and left paracentral lobule. However, DC values were not correlated with clinical manifestations. ROC curve analysis showed high accuracy. CONCLUSIONS We found abnormal neural activity in specific brain regions in patients with SA. Specifically, we observed significant changes in DC values compared to HCs. These changes may be useful to identify the specific mechanisms involved in brain dysfunction in SA.
