Insights into the role of extracellular-to-total body water ratio on neurocognitive decrements over time in Asians with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports. 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
Background: Extracellular water-to-total body water (ECW/TBW) ratio reflects volume overload. It promotes aortic stiffness which predicts Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) development. Objective: We studied longitudinal relationship between ECW/TBW ratio and neurocognitive decrements in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and mediating role of aortic stiffness. Methods: In a prospective Asian cohort, we measured ECW/TBW ratio using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) using applanation method. The Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) was used to assess neurocognitive performance. Linear mixed model was applied to examine if ECW/TBW was associated with neurocognitive performance. Results: The study comprised 1412 patients at baseline. Over maximum of 9.4 years' follow-up, 823 patients had repeated neurocognitive assessment. We observed associations between higher ECW/TBW ratio (continuous variable) and edema group with lower total RBANS score. The adjusted coefficients were -1.43 (95%CI -2.31, -0.56) and -5.88 (95%CI -9.00, -2.75) respectively. There were similar observations for delayed memory, visuospatial/constructional and attention. Based on cross-lagged panel model, there was larger standardized effect size from baseline ECW/TBW ratio to follow-up total RBANS score (β = 0.053, p = 0.026) compared to that from baseline total RBANS score to follow-up ECW/TBW ratio (β = -0.020, p = 0.461). PWV mediated 13.3% of the relationship. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated a relationship between volume overload and cognitive decrements, with potential mediation from aortic stiffness. There was temporal precedence of ECW/TBW over neurocognitive performance. BIA-determined ECW/TBW ratio is a promising biomarker of neurocognitive decrements in T2D.
