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

introductionCharacterizing transitions of cognitive state, including reversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to normal cognition (NC) and subsequent cognitive stability or deterioration for post-reversion, has so far remained limited.

methodsUsing a retrospective cohort of subjects with an MCI diagnosis at study entry and at least two follow-up visits between 2005 and December 2022, we developed a functional multistate model framework to estimate longitudinal patterns of transition probabilities between different cognitive states.

resultsThe probability of reversion increased from 2% at baseline to a maximum of 8% by year 10 before gradual decline thereafter. For post-reversion, the probability of progression to MCI rose from 8% to 35.71% at Year 10 and subsequently stabilized. DISCUSSION: The instantaneous risk of MCI progressing was similar to the risk of re-progression to MCI for post-reversion. Post-reversion subjects remained at an increased risk of cognitive deterioration. HIGHLIGHTS: The instantaneous risk of MCI progressing to AD is similar to the risk of re-progression to MCI for post-reversion. The FMSM we developed effectively utilizes multiple longitudinal markers to reveal variable transition patterns between different cognitive states. Considering both spatiotemporal dimensions and sparse irregularities from longitudinal neuroimaging and neuropsychological scales, fMLFPCA and MVFPCA help to extract variation patterns, to capture detailed changes characterizing the multidimensional evolution patterns of MCI.
