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

backgroundDynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) summarizes associations among time-varying brain networks and is widely used for studying dynamics. However, most previous studies compute dFNC using temporal variability while spatial variability started receiving increasing attention. It is hence desirable to investigate spatial variability and the interaction between temporal and spatial variability. NEW

methodWe propose to use an adaptive variant of constrained independent vector analysis to simultaneously capture temporal and spatial variability, and introduce a goal-driven scheme for addressing a key challenge in dFNC analysis---determining the number of transient states. We apply our methods to resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of schizophrenia patients (SZs) and healthy controls (HCs).

resultsThe results show spatial variability provides more features discriminative between groups than temporal variability. A comprehensive study of graph-theoretical (GT) metrics determines the optimal number of spatial states and suggests centrality as a key metric. Four networks yield significantly different levels of involvement in SZs and HCs. The high involvement of a component that relates to multiple distributed brain regions highlights dysconnectivity in SZ. One frontoparietal component and one frontal component demonstrate higher involvement in HCs, suggesting a more efficient cognitive control system relative to SZs. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsSpatial variability is more informative than temporal variability. The proposed goal-driven scheme determines the optimal number of states in a more interpretable way by making use of discriminative features.

conclusionGT analysis is promising in dFNC analysis as it identifies distinctive transient spatial states of dFNC and reveals unique biomedical patterns in SZs.
