SPAMRI: A MATLAB Toolbox for Surface-Based Processing and Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has elicited increasing attention in morphological surface studies due to its stability and sensitivity to neurodegenerative processes, particularly in exploring brain aging and psychiatric disease. However, a user-friendly toolbox for the surface-based analysis of structural MRI is still lacking. On the basis of certain software functions in FreeSurfer, CAT and ANTs, a MATLAB toolbox called "surface-based processing and analysis of MRI" (SPAMRI) has been developed, which can be performed in Windows, Linux and Mac-OS. SPAMRI contains several features as follows: (1) open-source MATLAB-based package with a graphical user interface (GUI); (2) a set of images that can be generated for quality checking, such as Talairach transform, skull strip, and surface reconstruction; (3) user-friendly GUI with capabilities on statistical analysis, multiple comparison corrections, reporting of results, and surface measurement extraction; and (4) provision of a conversion tool between surface files (e.g., mesh files) and volume files (e.g., NIFTI files). SPAMRI is applied to a publicly released structural MRI dataset of 44 healthy young adults and 39 old adults. Findings showed that old people have decreased cortical thickness, especially in prefrontal cortex, relative to those of young adults, thereby suggesting a cognitive decline in the former. SPAMRI is anticipated to substantially simplify surface-based image processing and MRI dataset analyses and subsequently open new opportunities to investigate structural morphologies.
