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

introductionCognitive impairment is frequently observed in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), and this condition worsens in those with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the precise neural mechanisms involved are still not fully understood. The present study aimed to investigate the topological organization of individual-level gray matter (GM) structural networks in patients with DKD and its association with clinical characteristics.

methodsStructural magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from 50 DKD patients, 65 DM patients, and 70 healthy controls (HCs). Following data processing, individualized similarity-based GM morphological networks were created. The topological properties of these networks were analyzed using graph theory analysis and compared among the three groups.

resultsBoth patient groups showed lower local efficiency and clustering coefficient (C

conclusionOur study indicates a progressive disruption of the GM structural connectome in patients with DKD compared to those without kidney complications. This disruption may be the underlying neural substrate that leads to more severe cognitive impairment in DKD patients.
