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

aimsThe study aimed to investigate alterations in the inherent connectivity pattern of global functional networks in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with fatigue.

methodsEighteen PD patients with fatigue (PD-F), 20 PD patients without fatigue (PD-NF), and 23 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited and analyzed by the voxel-wise degree centrality (DC) and the seed-based functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Meanwhile, the surface-based morphometry (SBM) analysis was also commanded to explore the structural alternations among groups.

resultsPD-F patients displayed reduced DC values in the left postcentral gyrus relative to PD-NF and HCs groups, while increased DC values in the bilateral precuneus compared to HCs. Simultaneously, altered DC value in the left postcentral gyrus negatively corresponded to the mean fatigue severity scale (FSS) in PD-F patients. Additionally, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves uncovered that the reduced DC value of the left postcentral gyrus could discriminate PD-F from PD-NF and HCs groups. Our FC analysis further revealed that altered FC was located predominantly in the sensorimotor network in the PD-F group. Moreover, we discovered no statistically significant differences between the three groups concerning cortical thickness.

conclusionOur findings indicated that the altered functional connectivity in the sensorimotor network centering on the left postcentral gyrus and the bilateral precuneus might be the potential pathogenesis of PD with fatigue.
