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

Large-scale brain networks reveal structural connections as well as functional synchronization between distinct regions of the brain. The latter, referred to as functional connectivity (FC), can be derived from neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). FC studies have shown that brain networks are severely disrupted by stroke. However, since FC data are usually large and high-dimensional, extracting clinically useful information from this vast amount of data is still a great challenge, and our understanding of the functional consequences of stroke remains limited. Here, we propose a dimensionality reduction approach to simplify the analysis of this complex neural data. By using autoencoders, we find a low-dimensional representation encoding the fMRI data which preserves the typical FC anomalies known to be present in stroke patients. By employing the latent representations emerging from the autoencoders, we enhanced patients' diagnostics and severity classification. Furthermore, we showed how low-dimensional representation increased the accuracy of recovery prediction.
