Resting-State Alpha Activity in the Frontal and Occipital Lobes and Assessment of Cognitive Impairment in Depression Patients.
Article in Psychology research and behavior management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) becomes one of the psychiatric disorders characteristic of a combination of cognitive, emotional, and somatic symptoms. Additionally, cognitive impairment has the most significant impact on functional results. However, the evaluation of cognitive level is still based on various subjective questionnaires as there is no objective standard assessment yet. This research focuses on resting-state alpha activity to identify cognition in MDD patients using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Methods: Ninety-two subjects were recruited: 44 patients with MDD and 48 healthy individuals as controls. Functional outcome and cognition were assessed using standardized instruments, and the EEG resting state signal of open and closed eyes was recorded. The comparison and correlation of cognitive levels with alpha power in the bilateral frontal region, bilateral central region, bilateral occipital region, and middle line was evaluated. Results: The relative alpha power in MDD group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Through correlation analysis, it was shown that the bilateral frontal and occipital alpha power of MDD patients in the closed-eyes state was positively correlated with information processing rate, verbal learning, working memory, and attention retention. The alpha power of the bilateral frontal region in the open-eyes state was positively correlated with information processing rate, working memory, and attention retention (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The research indicates that the changes in frontal and occipital alpha activities may be a promising neurophysiological indicator of cognitive level to diagnose and treat response prediction.
