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

This report examines extended intra-nasal insulin treatment [INI] for an Insulin Resistant early Mild Cognitive Impairment [MCI] patient. Patient [EJ] also had medial temporal lobe [MTL] damage, poor short-term memory, significant irritability, and social and linguistic withdrawal at treatment start. Compared to baseline, nine months INI treatment increased grey matter volume, lowered beta-amyloid levels, and improved MCI and FAS scores. Patient also increased pragmatic capacities in social conversation and procedural memory. These findings align with results from prior clinical trials on INI and suggest that treatment can slow neurodegenerative disease progression in early MCI patients.
