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

introductionThe dynamics of large-scale networks, which are known as distributed sets of functionally synchronized brain regions and include the visual network (VIN), somatomotor network (SMN), dorsal attention network (DAN), salience network (SAN), limbic network (LIN), frontoparietal network (FPN), and default mode network (DMN), play important roles in emotional and cognitive processes in humans. Although disruptions in these large-scale networks are considered critical for the pathophysiological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, their role in psychiatric disorders remains unknown. We aimed to elucidate the aberrant dynamics across large-scale networks in patients with schizophrenia (SZ) and mood disorders.

methodsWe performed energy-landscape analysis to investigate the aberrant brain dynamics of seven large-scale networks across 50 healthy controls (HCs), 36 patients with SZ, and 42 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) recruited at Wakayama Medical University. We identified major patterns of brain activity using energy-landscape analysis and estimated their duration, occurrence, and ease of transition.

resultsWe identified four major brain activity patterns that were characterized by the activation patterns of the DMN and VIN (state 1, DMN (-) VIN (-); state 2, DMN (+) VIN (+); state 3, DMN (-) VIN (+); and state 4, DMN (+) VIN (-)). The duration of state 1 and the occurrence of states 1 and 2 were shorter in the SZ group than in HCs and the MDD group, and the duration of state 3 was longer in the SZ group. The ease of transition between states 3 and 4 was larger in the SZ group than in the HCs and the MDD group. The ease of transition from state 3 to state 4 was negatively associated with verbal fluency in patients with SZ. The current study showed that the brain dynamics was more disrupted in SZ than in MDD.

conclusionsEnergy-landscape analysis revealed aberrant brain dynamics across large-scale networks between SZ and MDD and their associations with cognitive abilities in SZ, which cannot be captured by conventional functional connectivity analyses. These results provide new insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying SZ and mood disorders.
