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

objectiveTo investigate whether dynamic changes in resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) metrics can serve as sensitive biomarkers for distinguishing acute basal ganglia cerebral infarction (BGCI) patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) from those without (non-PSCI). MATERIALS AND

methodsData on various rs-fMRI metrics dynamic functional connectivity (dFC), dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (dALFF), and percent amplitude of fluctuation (PerAF) were acquired using a Siemens Prisma 3.0T scanner from 38 PSCI and 36 non-PSCI patients, with follow-up assessments. Functional segregation and integration were analyzed using PerAF, dALFF, and dFC. Feature extraction and selection were performed using support vector machine (SVM), followed by classifier construction and evaluation.

resultsPatients with PSCI showed decreased PerAF in the left cerebellar Crus I (lCbeCru1) and increased dALFF in the right cerebellar Crus I and left lingual gyrus compared to non-PSCI patients. Altered dFC was observed between cerebellar cognitive-related seed regions and widespread cortical areas, with increased dFC in the right cerebellar Crus II and left cuneus, and decreased dFC primarily in the inferior frontal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus. Among single-feature models, dFC achieved the best classification performance (AUC = 0.98, accuracy = 94.52%, sensitivity = 97.14%, specificity = 92.11%, precision = 91.89%). A combined feature model yielded the highest precision (94.12%).

conclusionSVM-based integration of PerAF, dALFF, and dFC features holds promise as a neuroimaging biomarker for PSCI in patients with BGCI. This approach may support more precise early rehabilitation strategies in clinical practice.
