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

Background: Dissociation, an altered state of consciousness in which individuals feel detached from their body, environment, and sense of self, is a common feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite its significance, the neurocognitive processes underlying dissociation remain poorly understood, potentially limiting diagnostic precision and treatment efficacy in PTSD. Methods: To address this gap, we applied network control theory to resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine neural dynamics during dissociative states in 2 contexts: healthy volunteers ( Results: Ketamine administration led to resting-state brain dynamics resembling those observed in patients with PTSD before treatment, characterized by an increased dominance of a default mode network (DMN) meta-state and a decreased dominance of a somatomotor network (SOM) meta-state. Posttreatment reduction in the dominance of the DMN meta-state correlated with a decrease in dissociative symptoms in patients with PTSD. Computational modeling analysis revealed that after treatment, patients with PTSD exhibited a more organized and less entropic brain state. However, contrary to our hypothesis, ketamine administration did not lead to significant changes in these entropy-related indices. Conclusions: Dissociative states, whether induced by pharmacological manipulation or clinical condition, are accompanied by increased dominance of the DMN meta-state and reduced dominance of the SOM meta-state.
