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
backgroundPosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are associated with alterations in the functional connectome, specifically in canonical resting-state networks including the default mode network (DMN), central executive network (CEN), and salience network (SN). Comorbid PTSD+TBI is linked to worse functional outcomes, but little is known about effects on the functional connectome.
methodsWe investigated brain phenotypes from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging associated with PTSD (n = 326), mTBI (n = 448), and comorbid PTSD+mTBI (n = 289) in military veterans and civilians (N = 1526) from the ENIGMA (Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta Analysis)-TBI and ENIGMA-PTSD studies. We examined static functional connectivity (FC) and dynamic functional connectivity (DFC), which we quantified both as variability in FC (VFC) over time and as dwell time in recurring FC states identified through clustering. Analysis of covariance was followed by post hoc linear regression analysis to test main and interaction effects of diagnosis on FC metrics.
resultsWe found a significant (false discovery rate-corrected p < .05) interaction of diagnosis × age on VFC. Older participants with comorbid PTSD+mTBI had greater VFC within the SN, between the SN and CEN, and between the SN and DMN than older control participants. Compared with control participants, comorbid participants had significantly greater dwell time in an externally focused state. Participants in the comorbid and mTBI groups had greater dwell time in a moderate-connectivity transition state than control participants.
conclusionsDFC related to the SN revealed distinct brain network patterns across diagnostic groups, with participants with comorbid PTSD+mTBI showing age- and anxiety-related effects. Older comorbid participants had heightened hypervigilance and reduced network segregation. PTSD and anxiety may synergistically worsen network instability, while mTBI reflects more rigid, disconnected states, highlighting DFC as a sensitive marker of neuropsychiatric comorbidity.
