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

Functional disconnection is thought to underlie schizophrenia and is often studied by characterizing the small-worldness of networks derived from electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Decreased small-worldness in schizophrenia has been regularly observed during active tasks, while the results are varied for non-response or resting tasks. We obtained EEG networks in three non-response tasks from 42 (Mage = 42.07 years, SD = 6.38) individuals with schizophrenia and 42 matched controls and found that the schizophrenia group displayed reduced variation in small-worldness across tasks, measured using small-world propensity. We speculate that this observation can be attributed to aberrant functioning of the default mode network. Further, using ordinal regression, we showed that small-world propensity and its variation across tasks are associated with PANSS symptom scores.
