Dynamic Causal Modeling Self-Connectivity Findings in the Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Neuropsychiatric Literature.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Dynamic causal modeling (DCM) is a method for analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other functional neuroimaging data that provides information about directionality of connectivity between brain regions. A review of the neuropsychiatric fMRI DCM literature suggests that there may be a historical trend to under-report self-connectivity (within brain regions) compared to between brain region connectivity findings. These findings are an integral part of the neurologic model represented by DCM and serve an important neurobiological function in regulating excitatory and inhibitory activity between regions. We reviewed the literature on the topic as well as the past 13 years of available neuropsychiatric DCM literature to find an increasing (but still, perhaps, and inadequate) trend in reporting these results. The focus of this review is fMRI as the majority of published DCM studies utilized fMRI and the interpretation of the self-connectivity findings may vary across imaging methodologies. About 25% of articles published between 2007 and 2019 made any mention of self-connectivity findings. We recommend increased attention toward the inclusion and interpretation of self-connectivity findings in DCM analyses in the neuropsychiatric literature, particularly in forthcoming effective connectivity studies of substance use disorders.
