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

introductionPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with overlapping brain structural differences. These often involve brain structures involved in the regulation of appetite, food intake, satiety, and reward processing. We examined the individual and interactive effects of PTSD diagnosis and MetS on cortical thickness and subcortical gray matter volumes in patients with PTSD (

methodsMultivariate models were constructed for FreeSurfer-generated prefrontal cortical thickness and subcortical gray matter regions-of-interest (ROIs) to explore the effects of PTSD diagnosis and MetS as predictors, adjusting for relevant socio-demographic and clinical covariates. Individual prefrontal cortical and subcortical limbic ROIs were also selected based on

resultsThe mean age of the sample (

conclusionsPTSD and MetS are independently associated with brain structural differences, including thinner prefrontal cortical thickness and smaller subcortical gray matter volumes, across multiple ROIs implicated in the hedonic and homeostatic regulation of food intake.
