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

Re-experiencing symptoms in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often involve vivid visual imagery, yet occipital resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) remains understudied, particularly in women exposed to interpersonal violence. Clarifying these neural mechanisms may advance understanding of sensory and contextual processing disturbances that contribute to intrusive memories. Notably, occipital rsFC has not been evaluated in relation to re-experiencing using the Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS), a validated self-report measure that supports fine-grained symptom-level analyses. Sixty-three participants meeting DSM-IV criteria for PTSD completed clinical assessments and resting-state fMRI. PTSD severity was measured with the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-IV) and the PDS. We conducted seed-based voxelwise rsFC analyses using bilateral visual cortex seeds (V1, V2, V3) and tested associations with re-experiencing symptoms. Greater V3-left cerebellar connectivity was positively associated with PDS re-experiencing subscores (t(61)=5.32, p
