Regional homogeneity alterations in multi-frequency bands in tension-type headache: a resting-state fMRI study.
Article in The journal of headache and pain, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
objectivesIn this study, we aimed to investigate the spontaneous neural activity in the conventional frequency band (0.01-0.08 Hz) and two sub-frequency bands (slow-4: 0.027-0.073 Hz, and slow-5: 0.01-0.027 Hz) in tension-type headache (TTH) patients with regional homogeneity (ReHo) analyses.
methodsThirty-eight TTH patients and thirty-eight healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) scanning to investigate abnormal spontaneous neural activity using ReHo analysis in conventional frequency band (0.01-0.08 Hz) and two sub-frequency bands (slow-4: 0.027-0.073 Hz and slow-5: 0.01-0.027 Hz).
resultsIn comparison with the HC group, patients with TTH exhibited ReHo increases in the right medial superior frontal gyrus in the conventional frequency band (0.01-0.08 Hz). The between group differences in the slow-5 band (0.01-0.027 Hz) highly resembled the differences in the conventional frequency band (0.01-0.08 Hz); even the voxels with increased ReHo were spatially more extensive, including the right medial superior frontal gyrus and the middle frontal gyrus. In contrast, no region showed significant between-group differences in the slow-4 band (0.027-0.073 Hz). The correlation analyses showed no correlation between the ReHo values in TTH patients and VAS scores, course of disease and number of seizures per month in conventional band (0.01-0.08 Hz), slow-4 band (0.027-0.073 Hz), as well as in slow-5 band (0.01-0.027 Hz).
conclusionsThe results showed that the superior frontal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus were involved in the integration and processing of pain signals. In addition, the abnormal spontaneous neural activity in TTH patients was frequency-specific. Namely, slow-5 band (0.01-0.027 Hz) might contain additional useful information in comparison to slow-4 band (0.027-0.073 Hz). This preliminary exploration might provide an objective imaging basis for the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of TTH.
