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

backgroundSeveral modifiable factors affect Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. However, evidence on how these factors interact remains scarce, limiting our understanding of their role in AD development. This study aims to assess interactions between chronic stress exposure and insomnia in relation to AD biomarkers beta-amyloid (Aβ

methodsThe present study included 124 memory clinic patients without dementia from the Cortisol and Stress in Alzheimer's disease (Co-STAR) cohort study. Insomnia symptoms, stressful life events (SLEs) and current perceived stress were self-reported via questionnaires, while AD biomarkers were assessed from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Cross-sectional interactions between stress and insomnia in relation to AD biomarkers were examined using linear regression models.

resultsInsomnia and SLEs interacted in relation to Aβ

conclusionsThis study suggests that chronic stress and sleep disturbances exhibit an interactive relationship in their associations with AD pathology, and highlights the need for further research into interactive effects of multiple modifiable risk factors in the development of AD.
