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

Introduction: The study of brain functional networks in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has provided useful information about the hyper- or hypo-connectivity between distinct brain regions. Nevertheless, the impact of negative links (antisynchrony) and their topology on the stability of the network still must be investigated. Methods: In this study, we hypothesized that the effect of dysconnectivity and antisynchrony should mainly be local and may not influence the overall stability and flexibility of the network in ADHD. Therefore, differences in brain functional organization of ADHD individuals were compared to a typically developed group using the structural balance theory. Results: Our results did not show any significant differences in the balance-energy of the resting-state network between healthy individuals and three subtypes of ADHD. However, a negative correlation was found between behavioral measures of ADHD and balance energy, highlighting that the higher disorder index may push the network to a less flexible (more balanced) state. Conclusion: We hope these findings enhance our understanding of the systemic mechanism behind ADHD.
