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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with brain damage and cognitive decline. Despite the fact that the thalamus involves aspects of cognition and is typically affected in T2DM, existing knowledge of subregion-level thalamic damage and its associations with cognitive performance in T2DM patients is limited. The thalamus was subdivided into 8 subregions in each hemisphere. Resting-state functional and structural MRI data were collected to calculate resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) and gray matter volume (GMV) of each thalamic subregion in 62 T2DM patients and 50 healthy controls. Compared with controls, T2DM patients showed increased rsFC of the medial pre-frontal thalamus, posterior parietal thalamus, and occipital thalamus with multiple cortical regions. Moreover, these thalamic functional hyperconnectivity were associated with better cognitive performance and lower glucose variability in T2DM patients. However, there were no group differences in GMV for any thalamic subregions. These findings suggest a possible neural compensation mechanism whereby selective thalamocortical functional hyperconnectivity facilitated by better glycemic control help to preserve cognitive ability in T2DM patients, which may ultimately inform intervention and prevention of T2DM-related cognitive decline in real-world clinical settings.
