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

purposeFrom a clinical point of view, how to force a transition from insomnia brain state to healthy brain state by external driven stimulation is of great interest. This needs to define brain state of insomnia disorder as metastable substates. The current study was to identify recurrent substates of insomnia disorder in terms of probability of occurrence, lifetime, and alternation profiles by using leading eigenvector dynamics analysis (LEiDA) method.

methodsWe enrolled 32 patients with insomnia disorder and 30 healthy subjects. We firstly obtained the BOLD phase coherence matrix from Hilbert transform of BOLD signals and then extracted all the leading eigenvectors from the BOLD phase coherence matrix for all subjects across all time points. Lastly, we clustered the leading eigenvectors using a k-means clustering algorithm to find the probabilistic metastable substates (PMS) and calculate the probability of occurrence and associated lifetime for substates.

resultsThe resulting 3 clusters were optimal for brain state of insomnia disorder and healthy brain state, respectively. The occurred probabilities of the PMS were significantly different between the patients with insomnia disorder and healthy subjects, with 0.51 versus 0.44 for PMS-1 (p < 0.001), 0.25 versus 0.27 for PMS-2 (p = 0.051), and 0.24 versus 0.29 for PMS-3 (p < 0.001), as well as the lifetime (in TR) of 36.65 versus 33.15 for PMS-1 (p = 0.068), 14.36 versus 15.43 for PMS-2 (p = 0.117), and 14.80 versus 16.34 for PMS-3 (p = 0.042). The values of the diagonal of the transition matrix were much higher than the probabilities of switching states, indicating the metastable nature of substates.

conclusionThe resulted probabilistic metastable substates hint the characteristic brain dynamics of insomnia disorder. The results may lay a foundation to help determine how to force a transition from insomnia brain state to healthy brain state by external driven stimulation.
