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

Background: Increased peripheral inflammation and astrogliosis, as assessed by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) associates with worse cognition. GFAP, however, does not provide brain spatial information. Methods: In a sample of older adults without dementia, we evaluated the relationship of astrogliosis with overall and domain-specific cognitive performance (verbal memory, visual memory, executive function and attention). Results: Ninety-four non-demented participants were included (mean age: 68 ± 7 yrs, 52% women, 89%, White); among them, 76 were classified as A- and 18 as A+. Conclusion: In this non-demented population of older adults with low levels of Aβ pathology and neuroinflammation, astrogliosis related with worse cognitive functions, but only among A+ individuals. Further, IGFR1 may play a suppressive role decreasing by more than 50% the effect of astrogliosis on worse visual memory.
