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

Studies commonly report that youth with elevated psychopathic traits exhibit deficits within limbic and paralimbic regions, including reduced gray matter volume (GMV) in the amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and temporal pole. However, studies have also reported additional structural abnormalities in regions extending beyond limbic and paralimbic regions among youth with elevated psychopathic traits, including the middle frontal gyrus (MFG), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), precuneus, inferior parietal lobule (IPL), and fusiform gyrus. This suggests youth with elevated psychopathic traits may be associated with deficits within large-scale structural networks. The current study investigated whether youth with elevated psychopathic traits were associated with such deficits through the use of source-based morphometry (SBM), a multivariate analysis of structural magnetic resonance imaging data. SBM uses Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to identify distinct sets of brain regions that form different large-scale structural networks. We investigated whether youth psychopathy scores, assessed via the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV), were associated with SBM loading coefficients among
