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

Introduction: Psychological resilience refers to the capacity to maintain or regain functioning in the face of adversity, yet its structural substrates remain poorly characterized. Methods: We conducted a coordinate-based meta-analysis of whole-brain voxel-based morphometry studies to identify gray-matter markers of resilience. Eleven eligible studies ( Results: Across studies reporting increased gray matter volume, a cluster showed convergence on the medial frontal wall, extending from the superior and medial frontal gyrus into the dorsal cingulate, Discussion: The findings implicate medial frontal-cingulate architecture as a convergent correlate of resilience, consistent with models of fronto-limbic regulatory control. Despite the modest study base and variability in definitions of resilience across studies, this meta-analysis identifies the medial frontal-cingulate hub as a reproducible structural marker of resilience, offering a concrete target for translational and interventional research.
