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

Individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) exhibited functional and structural brain recovery during abstinence. However, longitudinal neural changes of large-scale brain networks after prolonged abstinence remain unclear. Here, energy landscape analysis was applied to resting-state fMRI to characterize dominant activity patterns in 41 healthy controls and 40 individuals with MUD at baseline and after prolonged abstinence. We compared the dynamic characteristics of these patterns across groups and stages. Support vector regression model was constructed using baseline dynamic indices to predict craving changes after prolonged abstinence. We found that individuals with MUD exhibited rigid brain dynamics, which were correlated with abnormal brain network coordination and behaviors. Following prolonged abstinence, neural flexibility showed partial improvement, and dynamic indices could predict longitudinal craving changes. We revealed atypical brain network dynamics and their partial recovery during prolonged abstinence in MUD and suggested that dynamic indices could serve as biomarkers for predicting craving changes.
