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

Tinnitus, the perception of sound without an external source, affects many individuals, yet its impact on the brains functional connectome remains underexplored. Traditional functional connectivity (FC) methods, such as Pearson correlation, phase lag index, and coherence, rely on pairwise comparisons between activity of macro-scale brain regions, limiting holistic characterization. We used an approach that estimates the entire connectivity structure by analyzing all time-courses simultaneously, robust even for short recordings and suitable for real-time applications. Using resting-state MEG from tinnitus patients and controls, learned connectomes outperformed correlation-based ones in fingerprinting individuals across test/retest. Group analyses revealed altered FC across multiple frequency bands, impacting default mode, auditory, visual, and salience networks, indicating large-scale reorganization. Tinnitus exhibited highly individualized whole-brain FC profiles, highlighting the importance of individual variability and paving the way for personalized models to optimize patient-specific interventions.
