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

objectiveSchizophrenia is a chronic and debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder. It has been suggested that impaired brain connectivity underlies the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Network analysis has thus recently emerged in the field of schizophrenia research.

methodsWe investigated 48 schizophrenia patients and 24 healthy controls using network analysis and a machine learning method. A number of global and nodal network properties were estimated from graphs that were reconstructed using probabilistic brain tractography. These network properties were then compared between groups and used for machine learning to classify schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.

resultsIn classifying schizophrenia patients and healthy controls via network properties, the support vector machine, random forest, naïve Bayes, and gradient boosting machine learning models showed an encouraging level of performance. The overall connectivity was revealed as the most significant contributing feature to this classification among the global network properties. Among the nodal network properties, although the relative importance of each region of interest was not identical, there were still some patterns.

conclusionIn conclusion, the possibility exists to classify schizophrenia patients and healthy controls using network properties, and we have found that there is a provisional pattern of involved brain regions among patients with schizophrenia.
