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

Research has shown that many copy number variations (CNVs) increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism, ADHD, schizophrenia). However, little is known about the effects of CNVs on brain development and function. Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) is a suitable method to study the disturbances of neuronal functioning in CNVs. We aimed to determine whether there are resting-state EEG signatures that are characteristic of children with pathogenic CNVs. EEG resting-state brain activity of 109 CNV carriers (66 deletion carriers, 43 duplication carriers) aged 3 to 17 years was recorded for 4 minutes. To better account for developmental variations, EEG indices (power spectral density and functional connectivity) were corrected with a normative model estimated from 256 Healthy Brain Network controls. Results showed a decreased exponent of the aperiodic activity and a reduced alpha peak frequency in CNV carriers. Additionally, the study showed altered periodic components and connectivity in several frequency bands. Deletion and duplication carriers exhibited a similar overall pattern of deviations in spectral and connectivity measures, although the significance and effect sizes relative to the control group varied across frequency bands. Deletion and duplication carriers can be differentiated by their periodic power in the gamma band and connectivity in the low alpha band, with duplication carriers showing more disrupted alterations than deletion carriers. The distinctive alterations in spectral patterns were found to be most prominent during adolescence. The results suggest that CNV carriers show electrophysiological alterations compared to neurotypical controls, regardless of the gene dosage effect and their affected genomic region. At the same time, while duplications and deletions share common electrophysiological alterations, each exhibits distinct brain alteration signatures that reflect gene dosage-specific effects.
