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

Background: The cerebellum is a critical node implicated in the pathology of schizophrenia. Previous studies have demonstrated that dance interventions can enhance cerebellar functional connectivity in healthy individuals. These findings suggest that dance intervention might represent a promising treatment for patients with schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 32 patients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to two groups: a dance group (n = 18) and an aerobic exercise group (n = 14). Clinical symptoms and cognitive function, along with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, were collected from all participants at baseline and post-intervention. The cerebellar motor (CBCm) and cerebellar cognitive (CBCc) regions were defined for the calculation of dynamic functional connectivity (dFC). Repeated-measures analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) were conducted for statistical analysis. Result: Significant interaction effects were observed for cognitive function and dFC. Dance intervention specifically enhanced cognitive function, as assessed by the Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs (CPT-IP) and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R). Moreover, increased dFC was observed between the CBCm and the left medial superior frontal gyrus, left superior occipital gyrus, and right cuneus, as well as between the CBCc and the right median cingulate cortex and the left inferior temporal gyrus in the dance intervention group. Additionally, dFC between the CBCc and the median cingulate gyrus showed a positive correlation with CPT-IP (r = 0.412, Conclusions: These findings suggest that dance intervention specifically enhances cerebellar connectivity patterns, potentially improving attention and verbal memory in patients with schizophrenia. Clinical Trial Registration: No: ChiCTR2100049273, https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=65597.
