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

Significance: There are sex differences in the incidence and prevalence of cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Whether this difference is already present in the preclinical stage of the disease is unclear. Aim: We aim to explore whether there are sex differences in brain functional activities of specific cognitive tasks in the elderly and identify sex-related biomarkers of specific cognitive functions, which may provide important references for the mechanism disclosure and clinical early screening and diagnosis of cognitive disorders. Approach: We measured global cerebral hemoglobin concentrations and connectivity in elderly male ( Results: We found that there is a significant sex difference in connectivity, especially connectivity between the left inferior parietal and right prefrontal and left and right occipital in letter tasks, including the connectivity in parietal, left inferior parietal, and left occipital in category tasks. These connectivities were also significantly negatively correlated with the task performance of male groups. Conclusions: Our results indicated the connectivity between the left inferior parietal and right prefrontal, left and right occipital in letter tasks; the internal connectivity in the parietal; and the connectivity between parietal and the left inferior parietal and right occipital in category tasks may be crucial for verbal assessment of aging males. It is expected that the results will assist in cognitive assessment in the elderly group.
