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 multiple sclerosis (MS), functional network abnormalities arise as structural damage accumulates. However their biological basis and spatial distribution remain unclear. This study investigated the associations between MS-related functional network abnormalities and physiological gene expression using the Allen Human Brain Atlas (AHBA). Five-hundred fifty-eight MS patients and 214 healthy controls (HC) underwent neurological assessment and 3 T MRI; 491 patients also completed a neuropsychological evaluation. Resting-state functional MRI was used to generate degree centrality maps to identify network topography alterations. Spatial correlations between centrality abnormalities (p < 0.01 uncorrected) and the expression of 3634 MS-related genes was evaluated using AHBA and the Multimodal Environment for Neuroimaging and Genomic Analysis. Genes showing significant associations (p < 0.001, R
