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
Most of the existing methods about the causal relationship based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data are either the hypothesis-driven methods or based on a linear model, which can result in the deviation for detecting the original brain activity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method for detecting the effective connectivity (EC) of the brain activity by the nonlinear calculation. In this study, we firstly proposed a new technology evaluating effective connectivity of the human brain based on back-propagation neural network with nonlinear model, named EC-BP. Next, we simulated four time series for assessing the feasibility and accuracy of EC-BP compared to Granger causality analysis (GCA). Finally, the proposed EC-BP was applied to the brain fMRI from 60 healthy subjects. The results from the four simulated time series showed that the proposed EC-BP can detect the originally causal relationship, consistent with the actual causality. However, the GCA can not find nonlinear causality. Based on the analysis of the fMRI data from the healthy participants, EC-BP and GCA showed the huge differences in the top 50 connections in descending order of EC. EC-BP showed all ECs related to hippocampus and parahippocampus, whereas GCA showed most ECs related to the paracentral lobule, caudate, putamen, and pallidum, which represents the brain regions with most frequent information passing measured by different methods. The proposed EC-BP method can provide supplementary information to GCA, which will promote more comprehensive detection and evaluation of brain EC.
