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

Thalamocortical dysrhythmia (TCD) is a model characterized by abnormal resting-state thalamic oscillatory patterns where the alpha rhythm is replaced by cross-frequency coupling of low- and high-frequency rhythms. Although disrupted thalamic function is a suggested important pathophysiological mechanism underlying schizophrenia, knowledge regarding the TCD model in schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) patients and individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis is limited. A total of 169 SSD patients, 106 individuals at CHR for psychosis, and 105 healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state electroencephalography recordings. We performed mean global field power (MGFP) spectral analysis between 1 and 49 Hz as well as source-level theta phase-gamma amplitude coupling (TGC) analysis and compared resting-state oscillatory patterns across groups. Correlations between altered TGC values and psychotic symptom severity in the patient group were investigated. Spectral MGFP of low- and high-frequencies was larger in the SSD and CHR groups than in the HC group. The TGC of SSD patients was greater than that of HCs in the right frontal, right parietal, and left and right limbic lobes. Greater TGC in the right frontal and limbic lobes was associated with positive symptom severity in SSD patients. However, TGC in the CHR group was comparable to that in the HCs and was smaller than that in the SSD group in widespread cortical regions. The TCD pattern may be apparent after frank psychotic disorder onset in tandem with overt positive symptoms. A psychosis-risk state without overt psychotic symptoms could be characterized by abnormally increased low- and high-frequency activities with relatively preserved TGC.
