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

We aim to investigate the changes in brain functional connectivity induced by cognitive fatigue from a whole-brain perspective and multiple angles to uncover the underlying mechanisms in healthy individuals, thereby enhancing high-quality cognitive activities and the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation training. This study involved 48 healthy adults aged 20-35 and was conducted in two phases: cognitive fatigue validation and whole-brain connectivity feature analysis. We used fMRI to compare Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuations (ALFF), Regional Homogeneity (ReHo), Functional Connectivity (FC), and graph theory metrics before and after cognitive fatigue. The results indicated that changes in activity within the bilateral thalamus and Front-Parietal network were significantly correlated with subjective fatigue levels. Additionally, the left precuneus, cerebellum, and certain frontal regions may contribute to the neural regulation of cognitive fatigue through various mechanisms. These findings provide a reliable theoretical basis for developing new strategies to mitigate cognitive fatigue and offer valuable insights for optimizing rehabilitation plans for patients with cognitive impairments.
