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

aimsSchizophrenia (SZ) is associated with abnormalities in both spontaneous and task-evoked neural oscillations, and growing evidence shows that shift patterns of oscillatory activity between resting and task states are also disturbed. However, no study has simultaneously examined the frequency- and state-specific characteristics of oscillatory deficits in SZ. Using an auditory steady-state response (ASSR) paradigm, we aimed to examine the differential sensitivity of oscillatory measures to SZ and to assess rest-task shifts across multiple frequency bands.

methodsWe recorded resting-state activity and 40 Hz ASSR of 66 neurotypical controls (NC) and 68 SZ patients using electroencephalography (EEG). 40 Hz stimulus-evoked activity was measured using evoked power, phase-locking factor (PLF), and phase-locking angle, whereas multi-frequency (4-100 Hz) spontaneous activity during ASSR and resting states was assessed using induced and resting power. The state-dependent shifts in spontaneous activity between the resting and ASSR states were evaluated over a broad frequency range.

resultsBoth induced and resting power in the low-frequency range (4-10 Hz) were elevated over widespread regions in SZ patients relative to NC. Gamma-band (39-100 Hz) induced power then demonstrated excellent ability to discriminate between SZ and NC. In addition, SZ patients showed a reduced rest-task shift in the theta-beta band (5-23 Hz) spontaneous power, most pronounced in the alpha-band (8-13 Hz).

conclusionThe present study confirmed the utility of gamma-band induced power during ASSR stimulation for differentiating SZ patients from NC. Importantly, our results also highlight the pathophysiological significance of the reduced rest-task shift pattern of spontaneous activity mainly in the alpha-band in SZ patients.
