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

Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain tissue loss and physiological imaging of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) can provide complimentary information for the characterization of brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) but studies into gains in classification power for AD using these image modalities jointly have been limited. Our aim in this study was to determine the joint contribution of structural and perfusion-weighted imaging for the classification of AD in a cross-sectional study using an integrated multimodality MRI processing framework and a cortical surface-based analysis approach. We used logistic regression analysis to determine sequentially the value of cortical thickness, rCBF, and cortical thickness and rCBF jointly for classification for diagnosis of AD compared to controls. We further tested the extent to which cortical thinning and reduced rCBF explain individually or together variability in dementia severity. Separate analysis of structural MRI and perfusion-weighted MRI data yielded the well-established pattern of cortical thinning and rCBF reduction in AD, affecting predominantly temporo-parietal brain regions. Using structural MRI and perfusion-weighted MRI jointly indicated that cortical thinning dominated the classification of AD and controls without significant contributions from rCBF. However there was also a positive interaction between reduced rCBF and cortical thinning in the right superior temporal sulcus, implying that structural and physiological brain alterations in AD can be complementary. Compared to reduced rCBF, regional cortical thinning better explained the variability in dementia severity. In conclusion, structural brain alterations compared to physiological variations are the dominant features of MRI in AD.
