Resting-state fMRI in women with functional constipation with or without stress urinary incontinence.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: No prior research has investigated whether abnormalities exist in the neural regulation mechanisms of patients with comorbid Functional Constipation (FCon) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). This study employed neuroimaging to examine differences in brain activity and functional connectivity between female FCon patients with and without SUI. Materials and methods: Resting-state fMRI data were prospectively obtained from 34 female patients diagnosed with FCon comorbid with SUI (FCon-SUI), 24 female patients with FC without SUI (FCon-NSUI), and 29 Healthy Controls (HC). The study compared the Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation (ALFF) among the three groups to identify regions manifesting abnormal local spontaneous neural activity. Regions demonstrating significant ALFF variances were subsequently utilized as seeds for seed-based functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Additionally, correlations between brain functional irregularities and clinical symptoms were examined. Results: FCon-SUI and FCon-NSUI patients exhibited aberrant ALFF and FC values across various brain regions. Specifically, the FCon-SUI cohort demonstrated elevated ALFF in the right supplementary motor area (SMA) and the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG), as well as reduced ALFF in the left inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) relative to the FCon-NSUI group. In FCon-SUI, right SMA ALFF was positively correlated with KESS scores. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the unique neural activity characteristics of FCon-SUI, and provide valuable insights for monitoring brain changes in FCon-SUI patients and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
