The visualization of the brain regions with significant between-group differences in nodal efficiency (left half) and nodal degree (right half) at p < 0.01 (uncorrected). The blue nodes indicate decreased regional property in patients by comparison with HCs, and the green nodes indicate increased regional property in patients by comparison with HCs. The node sizes represent the significance of the between-group differences among the regional properties. These regions were mapped onto the cortical surface at the axial view, and were located according to the centroid stereotaxic coordinates. The nodal degrees of the DCG.L, IOG.L and FFG.R were significantly negatively correlated with SLEDAI values (DCG.L: r = − 0.428, p = 0.026; IOG.L: r = − 0.594, p = 0.001; FFG.R: r = − 0.409, p = 0.034), and the nodal efficiency values of the IFGtriang.R and DCG.L were significantly negatively correlated with SLEDAI values (IFGtriang.R: r = − 0.409, p = 0.034; DCG.L: r = − 0.391, p = 0.044). The corresponding scatter diagrams were overlaid translucently on the brain surface.
