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

Primary hemifacial spasm involves central network reorganization, but white matter functional alterations remain unclear. We acquired resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 89 left-sided patients, 92 right-sided patients, and 124 healthy controls. Patients exhibited widespread abnormalities in tracts including the corpus callosum, superior longitudinal fasciculus, and corona radiata. Notably, this remodeling was highly asymmetric: left-sided patients primarily showed increased local neural activity in prefrontal pathways, whereas right-sided patients exhibited increased global network centrality across interhemispheric tracts. Furthermore, these alterations displayed distinct frequency preferences, and certain functional instabilities were exclusively captured by dynamic metrics rather than static analyses. These findings demonstrate that the disorder is associated with time-varying, frequency-specific, and asymmetric white matter functional reorganization, highlighting the value of dynamic and multi-frequency approaches in decoding its pathophysiology.
