Effects of long-term closed and socially isolating spaceflight analog environment on default mode network connectivity as indicated by fMRI.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Long-term manned spaceflight and extraterrestrial planet settlement become the focus of space powers. However, the potential influence of closed and socially isolating spaceflight on the brain function remains unclear. A 180-day controlled ecological life support system integrated experiment was conducted, establishing a spaceflight analog environment to explore the effect of long-term socially isolating living. Three crewmembers were enrolled and underwent resting-state fMRI scanning before and after the experiment. We performed both seed-based and network-based analyses to investigate the functional connectivity (FC) changes of the default mode network (DMN), considering its key role in multiple higher-order cognitive functions. Compared with normal controls, the leader of crewmembers exhibited significantly reduced within-DMN and between-DMN FC after the experiment, while two others exhibited opposite trends. Moreover, individual differences of FC changes were further supported by evidence from behavioral analyses. The findings may shed new light on the development of psychological protection for space exploration.
