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

aimTo analyze whether alterations of voxel mirror homology connectivity (VMHC) values, as determined by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), occur in cerebral regions of patients with hypertensive retinopathy (HR) and to determine the relationship between VMHC values and clinical characteristics in patients with HR.

methodsTwenty-one patients with HR and 21 age-matched healthy controls (HCs) were assessed by rs-fMRI scanning. The functional connectivity between the hemispheres of the cerebrum was assessed by measuring VMHC, with the ability of VMHC to distinguish between the HR and HC groups assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Differences in the demographic and clinical characteristics of the HR and HC groups were analyzed by independent sample

resultsMean VMHC values of the bilateral cuneus gyrus (BA19), bilateral middle orbitofrontal gyrus (BA47), bilateral middle temporal gyrus (BA39) and bilateral superior medial frontal gyrus (BA9) were lower in the HR than in the HC group.

conclusionVMHC values can predict the development of early HR, prevent the transformation of hypertensive microangiopathy, and provide useful information explaining the changes in neural mechanism associated with HR.
