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

In recent years, exploring the physical mechanisms of brain functions has been a hot topic in the fields of nonlinear dynamics and complex networks, and many important achievements have been made, mainly based on the characteristic features of time series of human brain. To speed up the further study of this problem, herein we make a brief review on these important achievements, which includes the aspects of explaining: (i) the mechanism of brain rhythms by network synchronization, (ii) the mechanism of unihemispheric sleep by chimera states, (iii) the fundamental difference between the structural and functional brain networks by remote synchronization, (iv) the mechanism of stronger detection ability of human brain to weak signals by remote firing propagation, and (v) the mechanism of dementia patterns by eigen-microstate analysis. As a brief review, we will mainly focus on the aspects of basic ideas, research histories, and key results but ignore the tedious mathematical derivations. Moreover, some outlooks will be discussed for future studies.
