Associations between REM sleep EEG slowing and brain cholinergic denervation in aging and Mild Cognitive Impairment.

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
Cholinergic activity supports cortical activation during REM sleep, while other neurotransmitter systems are almost silent. Here, we tested the long-standing hypothesis that early cholinergic denervation may be associated with REM sleep EEG slowing in older adults. Twenty-four older participants without dementia (mean age: 71.29 ± 4.85 years; 58.33% women; 25% participants with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment) underwent a night of in-laboratory polysomnography, comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, structural MRI and molecular PET imaging with [
