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 and purposeIn PD, the neurodegenerative process begins in the brain stem and extends to the limbic system and finally into the cerebral cortex. We used diffusion tensor tractography to investigate the FA of the cingulate fiber tracts in patients with PD with and without dementia. MATERIALS AND

methodsFifteen patients with PD, 15 patients with PDD, and 15 age-matched healthy controls underwent diffusion tensor imaging with a 3T MR imager. Diffusion tensor tractography images of the anterior and posterior cingulate fiber tracts were generated. Mean diffusivity and FA were measured along the tractography of the anterior and posterior cingulate fiber tracts. One-way ANOVA with the Scheffé post hoc test was used to compare results among the groups.

resultsFA was significantly lower in patients with PDD than in healthy controls in both the anterior and the posterior cingulate fiber tracts (P = .003, P = .015) and significantly lower in patients with PD than in healthy controls (P = .003) in the anterior cingulate fiber tract. There were no significant mean diffusivity differences among the groups. MMSE and FA values of the anterior cingulate fiber tracts in patients with PDD were significantly correlated (r = 0.633, P < .05).

conclusionsThe reduced FA in patients with PD and PDD might reflect neuropathologic changes such as Lewy body pathology in the cingulate fibers. This abnormality might contribute to the dementing process in PD.
