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

introductionThe increasing use of Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers has led to the recognition of a subgroup of non-AD amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients who have medial temporal hypometabolism on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET).

methodsIn this academic memory-clinic-based consecutive series, 16 non-AD aMCI patients and 28 AD controls matched for sex, age, and baseline Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were followed for a median duration of 4.5 years. Our primary outcome was the MMSE decline rate over the subsequent years. We also determined the final diagnosis over time.

resultsFDG-PET showed more pronounced medial temporal hypometabolism in non-AD cases and more inferior parietal lobule hypometabolism in AD controls. MMSE decline was slower in non-AD ( DISCUSSION: Non-AD aMCI patients with medial temporal hypometabolism show slower cognitive decline. Highlights: Non-AD aMCI with medial temporal hypometabolism shows slower cognitive decline than AD.FDG-PET revealed distinct metabolic patterns between non-AD aMCI and AD patients.Approximately one-third of non-AD aMCI cases developed frontotemporal dementia.Comprehensive diagnostic biomarkers are crucial for non-AD aMCI characterization.
