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

Currently, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remains one of the major challenges faced by people living with HIV (PLWH). HAND involves the vulnerability of neural circuits caused by synaptic degeneration and abnormal synaptic pruning. In recent years, connectomics has been gradually applied to HAND research as a cutting-edge method for describing the structural and functional connectivity patterns of the brain, to further elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying these neural circuit vulnerabilities. Using multimodal neuroimaging techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), researchers can detail the connectome network changes in the brains of PLWH. These technologies offer potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring of HAND, while also providing new avenues for personalized prediction of cognitive status. Here, we start with the pathogenesis and risk factors of HAND, providing a comprehensive review of the basic concepts of unimodal and multimodal macro connectomics and related graph theory methods, and we review the latest progress in HAND connectomics research. We emphasize the use of connectomics to identify specific disease patterns of HIV-associated neurodegeneration and discuss the potential research directions and challenges in understanding these diseases from a connectomics perspective.
