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

Brain tumors can induce pathological changes in neuronal dynamics that are reflected in functional connectivity measures. Here, we use a whole-brain modeling approach to investigate pathological alterations to neuronal activity in glioma patients. By fitting a Hopf whole-brain model to empirical functional connectivity, we investigate glioma-induced changes in optimal model parameters. We observe considerable differences in neuronal dynamics between glioma patients and healthy controls, both on an individual and population-based level. In particular, model parameter estimation suggests that local tumor pathology causes changes in brain dynamics by increasing the influence of interregional interactions on global neuronal activity. Our approach demonstrates that whole-brain models provide valuable insights for understanding glioma-associated alterations in functional connectivity.
