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

The network theory of psychopathology posits that mental disorders are stable states of symptom activation arising from causally interconnected symptoms, where individuals with more strongly connected symptom networks are at a higher risk of developing a mental disorder. Researchers have turned to idiographic network estimation to assess this theoretical position, yet it remains unclear whether the dynamics of these models align with the network theory. In this paper, we use stability landscapes to systematically map the parameters of idiographic network models onto the network theory. Specifically, we examine how the dynamics implied by the Ising model (with
