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 pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) has been explored to be highly associated with the dysfunctional integration of brain networks. It is therefore imperative to explore neuroimaging biomarkers to aid diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we developed a spatiotemporal graph convolutional network (STGCN) framework to learn discriminative features from functional connectivity for automatic diagnosis and treatment response prediction of MDD. Briefly, dynamic functional networks were first obtained from the resting-state fMRI with the sliding temporal window method. Secondly, a novel STGCN approach was proposed by introducing the modules of spatial graph attention convolution (SGAC) and temporal fusion. A novel SGAC was proposed to improve the feature learning ability and special anatomy prior guided pooling was developed to enable the feature dimension reduction. A temporal fusion module was proposed to capture the dynamic features of functional connectivity between adjacent sliding windows. Finally, the STGCN proposed approach was utilized to the tasks of diagnosis and antidepressant treatment response prediction for MDD. Performances of the framework were comprehensively examined with large cohorts of clinical data, which demonstrated its effectiveness in classifying MDD patients and predicting the treatment response. The sound performance suggests the potential of the STGCN for the clinical use in diagnosis and treatment prediction.
