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

backgroundNeuroimaging studies have identified distinct 'typical/neocortical' and 'limbic-predominant' hypometabolic subtypes of AD with different clinical and biomarker characteristics. We investigated associations of these subtypes with postmortem neuropathological measures in an observational study.

methodsAntemortem FDG-PET scans of 74 participants from the ADNI autopsy cohort were classified into previously described typical/neocortical and limbic-predominant subtype patterns. We used Bayesian regression and ANCOVA to test associations between the subtypes and neuropathological features.

resultsResults were inconclusive for Thal phases, Braak stages, CERAD neuritic plaque scores, hippocampal tangle density, and TDP-43 pathology (BF

conclusionsThese findings highlight the influence of AD and non-AD-specific pathologies on neurodegeneration patterns and may provide directions for research into hypometabolic pattern analysis as an indirect marker of comorbid pathology.
