Altered long-range temporal correlations in delta oscillatory amplitude dynamics in gambling disorder.

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
Understanding the neural oscillations underlying gambling disorder (GD) is essential for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies. While the spatial coordination of neural activity in GD patients has been extensively studied, the temporal dynamics of neural activity have not yet been investigated. In this study, we aim to investigate the long-range temporal correlations (LRTC) of the instantaneous amplitude of resting-state Electroencephalography (EEG) in GD patients. EEG activity was recorded during eyes-closed wakeful rest in 87 patients with GD and 40 age-, gender-, and education-matched healthy controls. LRTC in amplitude fluctuations was quantified using detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) to estimate Hurst exponents across delta (1-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), alpha (8-13 Hz), beta (13-30 Hz), and gamma (30-45 Hz) frequency bands. Participants also completed measures of impulsivity and gambling severity. Group differences were assessed using parametric or non-parametric statistical tests, depending on data distribution. Compared with healthy controls, the GD group exhibited significantly higher LRTC in the delta band over middle-frontal and parietal regions (p < .001, rank-biserial correlation = 0.44), whereas no significant group differences were observed in the theta, alpha, beta, or gamma bands. Additionally, GD participants also showed higher scores on the "motor impulsivity" construct of impulsivity (p < .001, Cohen's d = 1.35), which was positively associated with higher LRTC in the delta band in the GD group (p = .034). These increased LRTC in the delta band effectively differentiated individuals with GD from healthy controls (p < .001). We identified disrupted temporal correlations in the brain networks of GD patients, suggesting that elevated delta-band LRTC may represent a candidate electrophysiological marker warranting further replication and longitudinal validation.
