Compared with our main analysis, alternative analyses using 400 nodes or binary edges both found additional significant differences (FDR-corrected) between healthy controls and MCS patients; conversely, fewer statistically significant differences were observed with the Lausanne parcellation and with alternative tractography: in both cases, the difference between MCS and UWS patients failed to reach statistical significance.

The sentences
The results replicated our main analysis, including the significant difference between FMRI+ and FMRI- patients, but also identified a significant difference (FDR-corrected) between healthy controls and MCS patients ( Supplementary Figure 5 and Supplementary Table 2 ), which had become narrowly non-significant in our main analysis, after accounting for the covariates.
