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

introductionNot all individuals who experience mild cognitive impairment (MCI) transition through progressive stages of cognitive decline at the same rate, if at all. Previous observational studies have identified the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) as an early site of hypometabolism in MCI which seems to be predictive of later transition to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

methodsWe examined N = 399 MCI subjects with baseline

resultsWhole-brain metabolism was decreased in converters (MCI-AD). This effect was more prominent at the RSC, where MCI-AD subjects showed even greater hypometabolism. Observations of RSC hypometabolism and its utility in predicting transition from MCI-AD withstood statistical analyses in a large retrospective study. DISCUSSION: These results point to the utility of incorporating RSC hypometabolism into predictive models of AD progression risk and call for further examination of mechanisms underlying this relationship. HIGHLIGHTS: Not all individuals who develop MCI will progress to AD. Individuals with MCI who progress to AD show early whole-brain hypometabolism. Early hypometabolism is particularly prominent at the RSC.
