Greater functional connectivity between the ventral frontal cortex and occipital cortex in herpes zoster patients than post-herpetic neuralgia patients.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare whole brain network between herpes zoster (HZ) patients and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) patients, as well as to investigate the associations between whole brain network changes and pain intensity and the accuracy of classifying between different types of pain.
methodsPHN patients (
results(1) 10 greater average connectivities were found in HZ group among the default mode, frontoparietal, cingulo-opercular, sensorimotor, occipital networks (ONs), and cerebellum (
conclusionThe variation of functional connectivity between ventral frontal cortex in the cingulo-opercular network and occipital gyrus in the ON may be a robust neuroimaging marker of the transition from HZ to PHN patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Whole-brain network analysis may be effective in distinguishing HZ and PHN patients and predicting pain intensity.
