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

Background: Voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) is utilized to assess the functional connectivity of neural networks by quantifying the similarity between corresponding regions in the bilateral hemispheres of the brain. The exploration of VMHC abnormalities in basal ganglia ischemic stroke (BGIS) patients across different cerebral hemispheres has been limited. This study seeks to establish a foundation for understanding the functional connectivity status of both brain hemispheres in BGIS patients through the utilization of VMHC analysis utilizing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods: This study examined a total of 38 patients with left basal ganglia ischemic stroke (LBGIS), 44 patients with right basal ganglia ischemic stroke (RBGIS), and 41 individuals in a healthy control (HC) group. Rs-fMRI studies were performed on these patients, and the pre-processed rs-fMRI data were analyzed using VMHC method. Subsequently, the VMHC values were compared between three groups using a one-way ANOVA and Results: The results indicated that compared to the HC group, significant differences were detected in postcentral gyrus, extending to precentral gyrus in both BGIS groups. Conclusion: The analysis of VMHC in rs-fMRI revealed a pattern of brain functional remodeling in patients with unilateral BGIS, marked by reduced synchronization and coordination between hemispheres. This may contribute to the understanding of the neurological mechanisms underlying motor dysfunction in these patients.
