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

Functional MRI (fMRI) and structural MRI (sMRI) offer complementary insights into brain function and anatomy, but their integration for schizophrenia identification remains challenging due to modality heterogeneity. Many existing methods fall short of effective modeling of the interaction between two modalities. We propose CAMF, a Cross-Attentive Multi-modal Fusion framework that employs self-attention to capture intra-modal patterns and cross-attention to learn inter-modal relationships. In addition, we introduce the gradient-guided score-class activation map to enhance interpretability by highlighting salient features. Our approach significantly improves the accuracy in classifying schizophrenia, as demonstrated by the evaluation of multi-modal brain imaging datasets from four cohorts of schizophrenia studies. Furthermore, the model identifies functional networks and anatomical regions aligned with established biomarkers. CAMF provides an accurate and interpretable framework for multimodal brain imaging analysis, offering new insights into schizophrenia-related alterations.
