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

Patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD) exhibit significant alterations in brain structure and function, but knowledge regarding gray matter networks is limited. The study enrolled 136 MMD patients and 99 healthy controls (HCs). Clinical characteristics and gray matter network topology were analyzed. Compared to HCs, MMD patients exhibited decreased clustering coefficient (Cp) (P = 0.006) and local efficiency (Eloc) (P = 0.013). Ischemic patients showed decreased Eloc and increased characteristic path length (Lp) compared to asymptomatic and hemorrhagic patients (P < 0.001, Bonferroni corrected). MMD patients had significant regional abnormalities, including decreased degree centrality (DC) in the left medial orbital superior frontal gyrus, left orbital inferior frontal gyrus, and right calcarine fissure and surrounding cortex (P < 0.05, FDR corrected). Increased DC was found in bilateral olfactory regions, with higher betweenness centrality (BC) in the right median cingulate, paracingulate fusiform gyrus, and left pallidum (P < 0.05, FDR corrected). Ischemic patients had lower BC in the right hippocampus compared to hemorrhagic patients, while hemorrhagic patients had decreased DC in the right triangular part of the inferior frontal gyrus compared to asymptomatic patients (P < 0.05, Bonferroni corrected). Subnetworks related to MMD and white matter hyperintensity volume were identified. There is significant reorganization of gray matter networks in patients compared to HCs, and among different types of patients. Gray matter networks can effectively detect MMD-related brain structural changes.
