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

purposeThis study aims to assess the diagnostic power of brain asymmetry indices and neuropsychological tests for differentiating mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and schizophrenia (SCZ).

methodsWe studied a total of 39 women including 13 MTLE, 13 SCZ, and 13 healthy individuals (HC). A neuropsychological test battery (NPT) was administered and scored by an experienced neuropsychologist, and NeuroQuant (CorTechs Labs Inc., San Diego, California) software was used to calculate brain asymmetry indices (ASI) for 71 different anatomical regions of all participants based on their 3D T1 MR imaging scans.

resultsAsymmetry indices measured from 10 regions showed statistically significant differences between the three groups. In this study, a multi-class linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model was built based on a total of fifteen variables composed of the most five significantly informative NPT scores and ten significant asymmetry indices, and the model achieved an accuracy of 87.2%. In pairwise classification, the accuracy for distinguishing MTLE from either SCZ or HC was 94.8%, while the accuracy for distinguishing SCZ from either MTLE or HC was 92.3%.

conclusionThe ability to differentiate MTLE from SCZ using neuroradiological and neuropsychological biomarkers, even within a limited patient cohort, could make a substantial contribution to research in larger patient groups using different machine learning techniques.
