Functional connectivity profiles of amygdala subregions in posttraumatic stress disorder.
Article in Translational psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The amygdala is crucial to understanding posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet knowledge of the connectivity of its substructures and their contribution to the functional heterogeneity characteristic of the disorder remains limited. This study sought to delineate the functional profiles of amygdala substructures to advance a more nuanced understanding of their contribution to the neural circuitry underlying PTSD in a large sample. Task-derived intrinsic functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data for 64 non-trauma-exposed controls (NEC) and 65 individuals with PTSD were analyzed. Amygdala subnuclei were segmented using FreeSurfer and combined into three major substructures for each hemisphere: the basolateral (BLA), centromedial (CMA), and superficial (SFA) nuclei. Seed-to-voxel functional connectivity analyses for the whole brain were performed to investigate group differences in subnuclei connectivity profiles. A significant group by subnuclei interaction was found for four clusters, driven by group differences in connectivity related to the BLA. There was lower connectivity in the PTSD group for the left BLA and precuneus, posterior cingulate, right superior parietal lobe, right postcentral gyrus, and bilateral precentral gyri. Higher connectivity was found in the PTSD group for the left BLA and brainstem, and for the right BLA and cerebellum, and brainstem and right pallidum. No group differences were found for the CMA or SFA. These results illustrate the importance of the BLA in driving task-derived intrinsic functional connectivity between NEC and PTSD groups. Findings suggest that group differences lie in lower connectivity with cortical areas involved in self-referential and sensorimotor processing, but higher connectivity with subcortical areas involved in arousal, salience, sensory, and reward processing.
