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

purposeHyperprolactinemia (HPRL) affects both reproductive function and the central nervous system. However, its specific effects on brain function and blood flow remain unclear.

methodsThis study used multimodal magnetic resonance imaging to examine cerebral blood flow (CBF) and functional network characteristics in 32 HPRL patients, including those undergoing bromocriptine treatment, and 40 healthy controls.

resultsResults revealed a significant reduction in global mean CBF in HPRL patients, particularly in the right inferior frontal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, and bilateral rectus gyrus. In contrast, the right middle frontal gyrus exhibited increased CBF. Following bromocriptine treatment, global CBF showed an upward trend. Additionally, the hierarchical structure of functional networks in HPRL patients was diminished and negatively correlated with serum prolactin levels, potentially related to reduced connectivity between the default mode and sensorimotor networks.

conclusionThese findings provide new insights into how HPRL and bromocriptine influence brain function, enhancing the understanding of the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms.
