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

backgroundThis study explores the impact of sleep disturbances on gray matter structural covariance networks (SCNs) across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.

methodsAmyloid-negative participants served as controls, whereas amyloid positive (A+) individuals were categorized into six groups based on cognitive status and sleep quality. SCNs for the default mode network (DMN), salience network (SN), and executive control network (ECN) were derived from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images.

resultsIn the DMN, increased structural associations were observed in cognitive unimpaired (CU) A+ and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) groups regardless of sleep quality, whereas AD with poor sleep (PS) showed a decrease and AD with normal sleep (NS) an increase. For the ECN, AD-NS showed increased and AD-PS showed reduced associations. In the SN, reduced associations were observed in CU A+ NS and MCI-NS, whereas AD-NS displayed increased associations; only AD-PS had decreased associations.

conclusionDistinct SCN damage patterns between normal and poor sleepers provide insights into sleep disturbances in AD. Highlights: We delineated distinct patterns of structural covariance networks (SCN) impairment across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum, uncovering significant disparities between individuals with normal sleep architecture and those afflicted by sleep disturbances.These observations underscore the pivotal importance of addressing sleep disruptions in AD therapeutics, providing a refined understanding of their detrimental impact on brain networks implicated in the disease.Our investigation epitomizes methodological precision by constructing an AD continuum using amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers to minimize diagnostic heterogeneity, further enhanced by a substantial cohort size that bolsters the robustness and generalizability of our findings.
