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

Background: The mechanisms of Comorbid mild or moderate depression and insomnia (CmiDaI or CmoDaI) are complex, and stratification remains poorly understood. Methods: Resting-state fMRI data were collected from 32 patients with CmiDaI, 32 with CmoDaI, and 30 healthy controls (HCs). Data were analyzed using a surface-based computational method to examine differences in amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) across the brain. Results: Significant ALFF differences were found in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) between CmiDaI and CmoDaI. Compared to CmoDaI, CmiDaI showed increased ALFF in the left DLPFC, decreased FC between left DLPFC and right superior temporal gyrus, and increased FC in the right supramarginal gyrus (SMG) and right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Correlation analysis suggests lower left DLPFC ALFF correlated with more severe depression and insomnia. Lower FC between left DLPFC and right IFG was associated with more severe depression, while lower FC between left DLPFC and right SMG correlated with more severe insomnia. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that reduced ALFF in the left DLPFC may serve as the potential biomarker to distinguish CmiDaI from CmoDaI, and offer insights for the two disorders' treatments.
