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

introductionType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is linked to abnormal brain structure and cognitive dysfunction. However, there is a lack of studies conducted to assess the impact of diabetes on cortical gyrification and cognition. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the potential negative effects of glucose metabolism levels on cognition and cortical gyrification in T2DM.

methodsThe current study comprised 83 patients with T2DM and 60 individuals with normal glucose metabolism (NGM). The calculation of the local gyrification index (LGI) was performed utilizing the FreeSurfer software. Subsequently, between-group differences were examined through the utilization of analysis of covariance. Multivariable linear regression and mediation models were employed to investigate the relationships among LGI, glucose metabolism and cognition.

resultsOur study found that the mean LGI of the entire brain in individuals with T2DM was lower than that of NGM, and these significant hypogyria were mainly located in the bilateral temporal lobes, including the left superior temporal cortex, left transverse temporal cortex, and bilateral temporal pole, with the greatest effect size in the left temporal pole (p = 5.7×10

conclusionOur experiment suggests that the decreased LGI in the right temporal pole explains poorer working memory performance in patients with T2DM.
