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

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate gender differences in the brains of young healthy adults, by calculating the regional homogeneity (ReHo) values of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Thereby providing candidate imaging biomarkers for risk stratification of neurodegenerative diseases and offering a basis for their early screening and targeted intervention. Methods: Forty-two (42) healthy young adults (21males and 21females) were examined using resting-state fMRI. We employed the statistical method of regional homogeneity (ReHo) to compare the brains of males and females. Results: The female group exhibited higher activity intensity in the right supramarginal gyrus, but significantly lower activity intensity in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the right frontal eye field, the right premotor cortex and the right superior temporal gyrus compared to the male group. Conclusion: Males have greater advantages in working memory, conscious decision-making behavior, visual-motor skills, physical reaction speed, rhythmic perception and language perception, while females show better episodic memory and visual imagination. High ReHo in the left DLPFC of men is a screening marker for high-risk groups of men with AD. High ReHo in the right superior marginal gyrus of women is an early warning biomarker for PTSD or depression.
