Central alterations of brain networks in patients with optic neuritis: a resting state fMRI study.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo assess the alterations in the resting-state function connections between the two cerebral hemispheres in patients with optic neuritis (ON) and healthy controls (HCs).
methodsA total of 12 ON patients (six males and six females) and 12 HCs (six males and six females) who were highly matched for sex, age, and educational level were recruited. They underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), testing and brain activities were assessed using the degree centrality (DC) method. Correlation analysis between the mean DC values in specific brain areas and behavior performances was analyzed as well. Linear correlations between A anxiety scale (AS) and depression scale (DS) values and DC values in brain regions of patients with ON were also analyzed.
resultsThe areas that showed a higher DC value in ON patients were the right angular gyrus and bilateral precuneus, while the left insula and left superior temporal gyrus (LSTG) were regions that presented a lower DC value in ON patients. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the accuracy of the area under the curve (AUC) assessment. Linear analysis showed anxiety scale (AS) and depression scale (DS) values in the left insula were both negatively correlated with DC values, while best corrected visual acuity logMAR-R (BCVA logMAR-R) showed a negative correlation with DC in the LSTG.
conclusionThe study explores altered brain activities of specific regions in patients with ON. The results provide clues for revealing the underlying mechanism of ON development.
