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

Mental fatigue has serious negative impacts on the brain cognitive functions and has been widely explored by the means of brain functional networks with the neuroimaging technique of electroencephalogram (EEG). Recently, several researchers reported that brain functional network constructed from EEG signals has fractal feature, raising an important question: what are the effects of mental fatigue on the fractal dimension of brain functional network? In the present study, the EEG data of alpha1 rhythm (8-10 Hz) at task state obtained by a mental fatigue model were chosen to construct brain functional networks. A modified greedy colouring algorithm was proposed for fractal dimension calculation in both binary and weighted brain functional networks. The results indicate that brain functional networks still maintain fractal structures even when the brain is at fatigue state; fractal dimension presented an increasing trend along with the deepening of mental fatigue fractal dimension of the weighted network was more sensitive to mental fatigue than that of binary network. Our current results suggested that mental fatigue has great regular impacts on the fractal dimension in both binary and weighted brain functional networks.
