Cortical Surface Spatial Analysis Reveals Altered Brain Functional Network Topology in T2DM With Mild Cognitive Impairment.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveApproximately 45.0% of patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exhibit mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the specific alternations in T2DM with MCI (T2DM-MCI)-related brain functional networks (BFN) remain unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the alterations in the topological properties of BFN in T2DM patients with and without MCI, utilizing a cortical surface-based graph theory analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data.
methodsNeuropsychological performance and topological properties of BFNs were determined in 64 T2DM-MCI patients, 58 T2DM patients without MCI (T2DM-noMCI), and 78 healthy controls (HC). Moreover, we conducted the correlation and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.
resultsThe T2DM-MCI group showed increased global efficiency and decreased shortest path length compared to T2DM-noMCI. In the left posterior cingulate, the T2DM-MCI group exhibited higher nodal efficiency compared to the T2DM-noMCI group. Additionally, both degree centrality and nodal efficiency in the T2DM-noMCI group were significantly lower than in the HC. Degree centrality and nodal efficiency in the left basal ganglia were elevated in both T2DM groups. Alterations in these regions were related to cognitive function scores.
conclusionThe alterations in nodal properties of the left basal ganglia suggest that nodal attributes in this region may be involved in the neurophysiopathological mechanisms of brain injury in T2DM. Conversely, the alterations of nodal efficiency in the left posterior cingulate gyrus indicate its potential as a neuroimaging biomarker of cognitive impairment in T2DM patients.
