Structural alterations of the salience network in patients with insular glioma.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThe structural alteration that occurs within the salience network (SN) in patients with insular glioma is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the changes in the topological network and brain structure alterations within the SN in patients with insular glioma.
methodsWe enrolled 46 patients with left insular glioma, 39 patients with right insular glioma, and 21 demographically matched healthy controls (HCs). We compared the topological network, gray matter (GM) volume, and fractional anisotropy (FA) between HCs and patients after controlling for the effects of age and gender.
resultsPatients with insular glioma showed topological network decline mainly in the insula, basal ganglia region, and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Compared with HCs, patients primarily showed GM volume increased in the ACC, inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), superior temporal gyrus (STG), temporal pole: middle temporal gyrus (TPOmid), insula, middle temporal gyrus (MTG), middle frontal gyrus, and superior occipital gyrus (SOG), but decreased in TPOmid, ITG, temporal pole: superior temporal gyrus, and SOG. FA declined mainly in the STG, MTG, ACC, superior frontal gyrus, and SOG, and also showed an increased cluster in SOG.
conclusionsFA represents the integrity of the white matter. In patients with insular glioma, decreased FA may lead to the destruction of the topological network within the SN, which in turn may lead to the decrease of network efficiency and brain function, and the increase of GM volume may compensate for these changes. Overall, this pattern of structural changes provides new insight into the compensation model of insular glioma.
