Application of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Understanding Spontaneous Brain Activity During Resting State in Schizophrenia: A Mini Review.
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Spontaneous brain activity occurs at rest, as represented by the default mode network. A resting paradigm is suitable for investigating brain function of patients with psychiatric diseases who may have difficulties adhering to goal-oriented tasks. Evidence accumulated in neuroimaging studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging has shown that the resting cerebral blood flow is impaired in psychiatric diseases. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a simple neuroimaging modality, is an optimal tool for the resting paradigm, because it can offer a comfortable environment for measurement. Recent NIRS studies have demonstrated some promising data of altered resting activity in the prefrontal cortex of patients with schizophrenia, which may be exploited to develop further applications of NIRS in clinical psychiatry. Based on these findings, we emphasize the benefits of NIRS for assessing the prefrontal pathophysiology during the resting state and some methodological issues to be noted while analyzing cerebral blood flow using NIRS; moreover, we focus on interpreting these changes based on the complex nature of the spontaneous brain activity during resting state.
