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
Objective: To investigate the information flow patterns in the human brain across different frequency bands of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) using 7 analysis methods to assess effective brain network connectivity. Methods: The high spatio-temporal rs-fMRI data of 60 healthy volunteers (30 males and 30 females) aged between 22 and 35 years were downloaded from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) database. The information flow patterns of different frequency bands, including conventional low-frequency band (0.01-0.08 Hz), high-frequency band (0.08-0.69 Hz), and whole-frequency band (0.01-0.69 Hz), were analyzed by Granger causality analysis (including linear Granger causality model, kernel-based Granger causality model, and non-parametric multiplicative regression Granger causality model), transfer entropy (based on binning, k-nearest neighbors, and permutation), and convergent cross mapping. Results: Within the low frequency band, the preferred information flow showed similar topologies across all the analysis methods, with the information flow going predominantly from sub-cortical nucleus, limbic lobe, and a few regions of frontal and temporal lobes into occipital and parietal lobes and other regions of frontal and temporal lobes. In contrast, within the high and whole frequency bands, the information flow was in the opposite direction. Additionally, significant negative correlations were found between the preferred information flow direction and the relative power of low- and high-frequency bands, respectively. Conclusion: The multimodal effective connectivity analysis conducted in the study reveals rs-fMRI frequency-dependent information flow patterns in the human brain, validates the consistency of different methods in assessing the directional information transfer in the brain network, and offers new insights for understanding the regulatory mechanisms of resting-state brain functions.
