Microstates in multiple sclerosis: an electrophysiological signature of altered large-scale networks functioning?
Article in Brain communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Multiple sclerosis has a highly variable course and disabling symptoms even in absence of associated imaging data. This clinical-radiological paradox has motivated functional studies with particular attention to the resting-state networks by functional MRI. The EEG microstates analysis might offer advantages to study the spontaneous fluctuations of brain activity. This analysis investigates configurations of voltage maps that remain stable for 80-120 ms, termed
