1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Primary dystonia is thought to emerge through abnormal functional relationships between basal ganglia and cerebellar motor circuits. These interactions may differ across disease subtypes and provide a novel biomarker for diagnosis and treatment. Using a network mapping algorithm based on resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), a method that is readily implemented on conventional MRI scanners, we identified similar disease topographies in hereditary dystonia associated with the DYT1 or DYT6 mutations and in sporadic patients lacking these mutations. Both networks were characterized by contributions from the basal ganglia, cerebellum, thalamus, sensorimotor areas, as well as cortical association regions. Expression levels for the two networks were elevated in hereditary and sporadic dystonia, and in non-manifesting carriers of dystonia mutations. Nonetheless, the distribution of abnormal functional connections differed across groups, as did metrics of network organization and efficiency in key modules. Despite these differences, network expression correlated with dystonia motor ratings, significantly improving the accuracy of predictions based on thalamocortical tract integrity obtained with diffusion tensor MRI (DTI). Thus, in addition to providing unique information regarding the anatomy of abnormal brain circuits, rs-fMRI functional networks may provide a widely accessible method to help in the objective evaluation of new treatments for this disorder.
