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: Broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (bNIRS) can simultaneously monitor several chromophores, including the oxidative state of cytochrome c-oxidase (oxCCO), an oxygen metabolism biomarker, the activity of which is altered in Alzheimer's disease. Being a portable and noninvasive neuromonitoring technique, bNIRS could provide accessibility to brain-specific biomarkers and aid in the dementia diagnostic pathway. Aim: We use bNIRS-recorded functional hemodynamic and oxCCO changes to assess their relevance in Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Approach: Using a visual stimulus paradigm, we recorded functional changes in oxy-, deoxy-hemoglobin and oxCCO in three similarly aged cohorts: healthy controls ( Results: We found individual variations in peak amplitude and time-to-peak for all the stimulus-evoked bNIRS signals across the three cohorts. CCA showed a strong correlation between bNIRS features and the clinical cognitive markers ( Conclusions: oxCCO could be a crucial biomarker, partly explaining cognitive differences with dementia. bNIRS uniquely provides a portable and noninvasive technique to monitor several chromophores simultaneously, including oxCCO, with potential future applications in diagnosing and tracking dementia progression.
