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

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by fear and avoidance of social situations. Considering the reduced availability of conventional therapies, we aimed to improve our understanding of the biological mechanisms in SAD by evaluating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and other neurometabolites (including glutamate + glutamine/glutamix (Glx), N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), myo-inositol (mI), total choline (tCho), and total creatine (tCr) in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex/anterior cingulate cortex (dmPFC/ACC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), and the insula). In this pilot study, we recruited 26 (age: 25.3 ± 5.0 years; 61.5% female) individuals with SAD and 26 (age: 25.1 ± 4.4 years; 61.5% female) sex-age-matched controls. Using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we found that compared to the controls, GABA+ macromolecular signal (GABA+) in dlPFC (t = 2.63;
