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: Patients with panic disorder (PD) are approximately four times more likely to experience suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to healthy controls (HCs). Despite the elevated risk compared to HCs, the relationship between cortical thickness (CT) in PD and suicidality remains underexplored. Methods: We recruited 161 right-handed participants, including 82 PD patients and 79 HCs, and assessed them using a comprehensive battery of psychological scales, including the Scale for Suicidal Ideation (SSI), Early Trauma Inventory Self Report-Short Form, Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Personality Inventory-Neuroticism (NEO-N), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait Anxiety (STAI-T), Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS), and Beck Depression Inventory. Results: In whole-brain vertex-wise group comparison, patients with PD demonstrated significantly lower CT values in the insula, lateral occipital sulcus, and precentral gyrus compared to HCs. Notably, paradoxical significant positive correlations were observed between SSI total scores and CT in the above-mentioned regions within the PD cohort. Pearson's correlation analyses further indicated that CT in these regions may be linked to high levels of early trauma, trait anxiety (e.g., NEO-N, STAI-T), panic symptom severity (e.g., PDSS), and treatment response in patients with PD. Conclusion: This study suggest that suicidality in PD may be associated with CT in specific EFN regions related to suicidal brain and that CT in these regions could play a critical role in anxiety symptomatology in PD.
