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

Previous studies have documented neural network anomalies in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) characterized by hypercorrelated interactions across brain areas, relative to controls. Here, we evaluated and compared local, intra-area(s), interactions by computing cross-correlations derived from prewhitened resting-state 3 T fMRI BOLD time series within 84 brain regions (35 cortical areas and 7 subcortical nuclei per hemisphere) in 15 veterans with PTSD and 21 healthy controls. We found that intra-area correlations were significantly higher in PTSD, as compared with controls, indicating a restriction in local network flexibility. PTSD symptom severity was positively and significantly associated with increased local correlations, most prominently in frontal and limbic areas.
