Topological dissimilarities of hierarchical resting networks in type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.
Article in Journal of computational neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is reported to cause widespread changes in brain function, leading to cognitive impairments. Research using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data already aims to understand functional changes in complex brain connectivity systems. However, no previous studies with dynamic causal modelling (DCM) tried to investigate large-scale effective connectivity in diabetes. We aimed to examine the differences in large-scale resting state networks in diabetic and obese patients using combined DCM and graph theory methodologies. With the participation of 70 subjects (43 diabetics, 27 obese), we used cross-spectra DCM to estimate connectivity between 36 regions, subdivided into seven resting networks (RSN) commonly recognized in the literature. We assessed group-wise connectivity of T2DM and obesity, as well as group differences, with parametric empirical Bayes and Bayesian model reduction techniques. We analyzed network connectivity globally, between RSNs, and regionally. We found that average connection strength was higher in T2DM globally and between RSNs, as well. On the network level, the salience network shows stronger total within-network connectivity in diabetes (8.07) than in the obese group (4.02). Regionally, we measured the most significant average decrease in the right middle temporal gyrus (-0.013 Hz) and the right inferior parietal lobule (-0.01 Hz) relative to the obese group. In comparison, connectivity increased most notably in the left anterior prefrontal cortex (0.01 Hz) and the medial dorsal thalamus (0.009 Hz). In conclusion, we find the usage of complex analysis of large-scale networks suitable for diabetes instead of focusing on specific changes in brain function.
