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

Introduction: Bone-derived sclerostin impairs cognitive function in both patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mouse models of AD. For the first time, we explored the correlation of sclerostin with neurocognitive domains in the AD continuum. Methods: Sclerostin levels were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a cohort of individuals with biological evidence of AD pathology, including patients with AD dementia, mild cognitive impairment due to AD (MCI), and subjective memory complaints (SMC). Correlations were examined between sclerostin and domain-specific cognitive scores. Results: CSF sclerostin correlated with overall cognitive function, as well as with all cognitive domains impaired in AD. Of note, MCI patients with high CSF sclerostin levels displayed a worse overall and domain-specific neurocognitive performance. Discussion: Our results evidenced the negative impact of sclerostin on all the cognitive domains predominantly in prodromal AD, suggesting its potential role as a biomarker of cognitive decline in the early stages of the disease.
