Seasonal effect-an overlooked factor in neuroimaging research.
Article in Translational psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
In neuroimaging research, seasonal effects are often neglected or controlled as confounding factors. However, seasonal fluctuations in mood and behavior have been observed in both psychiatric disorders and healthy participants. There are vast opportunities for neuroimaging studies to understand seasonal variations in brain function. In this study, we used two longitudinal single-subject datasets with weekly measures over more than a year to investigate seasonal effects on intrinsic brain networks. We found that the sensorimotor network displayed a strong seasonal pattern. The sensorimotor network is not only relevant for integrating sensory inputs and coordinating movement, but it also affects emotion regulation and executive function. Therefore, the observed seasonality effects in the sensorimotor network could contribute to seasonal variations in mood and behavior. Genetic analyses revealed seasonal modulation of biological processes and pathways relevant to immune function, RNA metabolism, centrosome separation, and mitochondrial translation that have a significant impact on human physiology and pathology. In addition, we revealed critical factors such as head motion, caffeine use, and scan time that could interfere with seasonal effects and need to be considered in future studies.
