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

introductionAmnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is emerging as a heterogeneous condition.

methodsWe looked at a cohort of N = 207 aMCI subjects, with baseline fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), T1 magnetic resonance imaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), apolipoprotein E (APOE), and neuropsychological assessment. An algorithm based on FDG-PET hypometabolism classified each subject into subtypes, then compared biomarker measures and clinical progression.

resultsThree subtypes emerged: hippocampal sparing-cortical hypometabolism, associated with younger age and the highest level of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-CSF pathology; hippocampal/cortical hypometabolism, associated with a high percentage of APOE ε3/ε4 or ε4/ε4 carriers; medial-temporal hypometabolism, characterized by older age, the lowest AD-CSF pathology, the most severe hippocampal atrophy, and a benign course. Within the whole cohort, the severity of temporo-parietal hypometabolism, correlated with AD-CSF pathology and marked the rate of progression of cognitive decline. DISCUSSION: FDG-PET can distinguish clinically comparable aMCI at single-subject level with different risk of progression to AD dementia or stability. The obtained results can be useful for the optimization of pharmacological trials and automated-classification models. HIGHLIGHTS: Algorithm based on FDG-PET hypometabolism demonstrates distinct subtypes across aMCI; Three different subtypes show heterogeneous biological profiles and risk of progression; The cortical hypometabolism is associated with AD pathology and cognitive decline; MTL hypometabolism is associated with the lowest conversion rate and CSF-AD pathology.
