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

Previous studies have demonstrated augmented levels of diacylglycerols (DAG) in the frontal cortex and plasma of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. We extended these findings from non-targeted lipidomics studies to design a lipidomics platform to interrogate DAGs and monoacylglycerols (MAG) in the frontal cortex and plasma of MCI subjects. Control subjects included both aged normal controls and controls with normal cognition, but AD pathology at autopsy, individuals termed non-demented AD neuropathology. DAGs with saturated, unsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acid substituents were found to be elevated in MCI frontal cortex and plasma. Tandem mass spectrometry of the DAGs did not reveal any differences in the distributions of the fatty acid substitutions between MCI and control subjects. While triacylglycerols were not altered in MCI subjects there were increases in MAG levels both in the frontal cortex and plasma. In toto, increased levels of DAGs and MAGs appear to occur early in AD pathophysiology and require both further validation in a larger patient cohort and elucidation of the lipidomics alteration(s) that lead to the accumulation of DAGs in MCI subjects.
