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: In this study, we investigated the correlation between the scores for different Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) subscale models and the metabolic activity in specific regions of the brain using Methods: A total of 39 cognitively normal participants (29 men and 10 women, aged 30-63 years) were enrolled. All participants underwent LSAS assessment and brain Results: LSAS subscale scores were significantly correlated with metabolic activity in specific brain regions. In the Safren model, the score for the observation by others subscale was positively correlated with the left fusiform gyrus ( Conclusion: Social anxiety symptoms are closely associated with metabolic changes in specific brain regions, including the left insula, left caudate tail, and right precuneus. Moreover, different social situations activate distinct brain regions. Compared with individuals with social anxiety disorder, normal individuals exhibit involvement of fewer brain regions when experiencing social anxiety. These findings provide new experimental evidence for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying social anxiety.
