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

objectiveIdentification of robust biomarkers that predict individualized response to antipsychotic treatment at the early stage of psychotic disorders remains a challenge in precision psychiatry. The aim of this study was to investigate whether any functional connectome-based neural traits could serve as such a biomarker.

methodsIn a discovery sample, 49 patients with first-episode psychosis received multi-paradigm fMRI scans at baseline and were clinically followed up for 12 weeks under antipsychotic monotherapies. Treatment response was evaluated at the individual level based on the psychosis score of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. Cross-paradigm connectivity and connectome-based predictive modeling were employed to train a predictive model that uses baseline connectomic measures to predict individualized change rates of psychosis scores, with model performance evaluated as the Pearson correlations between the predicted change rates and the observed change rates, based on cross-validation. The model generalizability was further examined in an independent validation sample of 24 patients in a similar design.

resultsThe results revealed a paradigm-independent connectomic trait that significantly predicted individualized treatment outcome in both the discovery sample (predicted-versus-observed r=0.41) and the validation sample (predicted-versus-observed r=0.47, mean squared error=0.019). Features that positively predicted psychosis change rates primarily involved connections related to the cerebellar-cortical circuitry, and features that negatively predicted psychosis change rates were chiefly connections within the cortical cognitive systems.

conclusionsThis study discovers and validates a connectome-based functional signature as a promising early predictor for individualized response to antipsychotic treatment in first-episode psychosis, thus highlighting the potential clinical value of this biomarker in precision psychiatry.
