Brain Imaging in Routine Psychiatric Practice.
Review in Missouri medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Technologies in the 21st century provide increasingly detailed and accurate maps of brain structure and function. So why don't psychiatrists order brain imaging on all our patients? Here we briefly review major neuroimaging methods and some of their findings in psychiatry. As clinicians and neuroimaging researchers, we are eager to bring brain imaging into daily clinical practice. However, to be clinically useful, any test in medicine must demonstrate adequate test statistics, and show proven benefits that outweigh its risks and costs. In 2024, beyond certain limited circumstances, we have no imaging tests that can meet those standards to provide diagnosis or guide treatment. This cold fact explains why for most psychiatric patients, neuroimaging is not currently recommended by professional organizations or the National Institute of Mental Health.
