Altered functional connectivity of nucleus accumbens in patients with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate alterations in functional connectivity (FC) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in patients with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), and to examine the relationship between aberrant FC and clinical characteristics. Methods: Twenty-four patients with PPPD and 25 age and gender matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. Rs-fMRI data was preprocessed using DPABI. The bilateral NAc were selected as seed regions, and seed-to-voxel FC analysis was performed. FC differences between groups were assessed using two-sample t-tests with age, sex, HAMA, and HAMD scores as covariates (voxel-level FDR-corrected Results: Compared with HCs, patients with PPPD exhibited significantly enhanced FC between the right NAc and the left superior occipital gyrus (Occipital_Sup_L; peak MNI: -24, -96, 24; T value = 4.35; voxel-level FDR-corrected Conclusion: Patients with PPPD exhibit enhanced FC between the right NAc and visual- and emotion-related cortical regions, including the superior occipital gyrus and orbitofrontal cortex. The negative correlation with disease duration suggests that these FC alterations may be most pronounced in the early stages of the disorder. These findings provide new insights into the neural mechanisms of visual dependence and emotional dysregulation in PPPD.
