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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory impairment and cognitive decline, ultimately culminating in dementia. This study aims to evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and functional connectivity (FC) in patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), bypassing the requirement for hypercapnia. The study cohort comprised 53 AD patients, 38 MCI patients, and 39 normal control (NC) subjects. CVR is derived by extracting signals within specific frequency bands of rs-fMRI. This study compares the differences in CVR and FC among the three groups, using the brain regions with CVR differences as region of interest (ROI) for FC analysis. The correlation between CVR and FC and cognitive scale score was discussed. Compared with NC subjects, AD patients exhibited a decrease in CVR in the PCUN.L, whereas MCI patients showed an increase in CVR in the PCUN.R. With PCUN.L as ROI, FC in PCUN.R decreased in AD patients, and FC in SFGmed.R and other brain regions increased in MCI patients compared with NC subjects. The results of the correlation analysis indicate that CVR in all patients, as well as FC with the PCUN.L as the ROI to the PCUN.R and SFGmed.R, show positive correlations with MMSE and MoCA scores. These results suggest that there are significant differences between CVR and FC with CVR differential brain regions as ROI among the AD, MCI, and NC groups, which may help to explain the hemodynamic mechanism. CVR obtained with rs-fMRI may be a potential biomarker for assessing cognitive impairment.
