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

The brain has evolved multiple times across evolution; the human prefrontal cortex (PFC) represents its latest developmental addition. Evolution has led to similarities in brain design across species and comparable solutions can be found in different species. The common marmoset shares ancestry with the human primate and serves as a useful model for human PFC build. Previous research approaches on major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have led to the definition of psychopathological sub-networks including their cortico-subcortical connections. Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging fiber tracking (DTI-FT) is used in humans as a non-invasive substitute for invasive viral tract tracing (AAVaTT) technologies applied in non-human primates. We here compare DTI-FT (N = 1000) and AAVaTT (n = 52) in humans and marmosets, respectively, to reveal interspecies anatomical and functional distinctions of PFC connectivity models and putative effects on dysfunctional networks relevant for MDD and OCD.
