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

purposeTo investigate dynamical degree centrality (dDC) alteration and its association with metabolic disturbance and cognitive impairment in minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE).

methodsFifty-eight cirrhotic patients (22 with MHE, 36 without MHE [NHE]) and 25 healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging,

resultsWe observed a stepwise increase in Glx/tCr and a decrease in mI/tCr from NHE to MHE. The intergroup dDC differences were observed in the bilateral posterior cingulate cortex and precuneus (region of interest [ROI1]), bilateral superior-medial frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex (ROI2), and left caudate head. The dDC in ROI2 (r = 0.450, P < 0.001) and mI/tCr (r = 0.297, P = 0.024) was correlated with PHES. Significant correlations were found between dDC in ROI1 and Glx/tCr (r = - 0.413, P = 0.001) and mI/tCr (r = 0.554, P < 0.001). The dDC in ROI2, Glx/tCr, and mI/tCr showed potential for distinguishing NHE from MHE (areas under the curve = 0.859, 0.655, and 0.672, respectively).

conclusionOur findings suggested dynamic brain network disorganization in MHE, which was associated with metabolic derangement and neurocognitive impairment.
