Delineating white matter phenotypes of sensori-/psychomotor functioning in large-scale cohorts of healthy individuals and patients with mental disorders across the lifespan (whiteSPAN): rationale and methods of an interdisciplinary bicentric project.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2026. 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
Aberrant sensori-/psychomotor functioning-including muscular hand weakness, sedentary behavior, psychomotor agitation, slowing, agitation, apathy, and anxiety-is increasingly recognized as a transdiagnostic feature across mental and neurodegenerative disorders. Objectively measured sensori-/psychomotor abnormalities serve as rapid, noninvasive indicators of cognitive and affective dysfunction, yet large-scale neuroimaging studies examining their white matter (WM) correlates remain limited. This bi-centric research project aims to investigate associations between sensori-/psychomotor functioning and WM microstructure across anxiety disorders (AD), major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We will analyze diffusion MRI data from over 2,400 healthy individuals and 1,600 patients, combining publicly available datasets (e.g., Human Connectome Project, Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative) with in-house cohorts comprising >400 deeply-phenotyped SSD and MDD patients. A major strength of the project lies in the harmonization of psychopathological rating scales and sensori-/psychomotor assessments across these populations. Using advanced computational tools-including tractometry, tractomics, normative modeling, and deep learning-we aim to map a WM phenotype of sensori-/psychomotor dysfunction across the lifespan. Multivariate taxometric approaches will help identify biologically informed sensori-/psychomotor biotypes that cut across traditional diagnostic boundaries. By distinguishing disorder-specific WM changes from normative developmental and aging processes, this project seeks to inform precision medicine approaches and guide biomarker-driven interventions for mental and neurodegenerative disorders.
