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

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has received increasing attention not only because of its potential as a precursor for Alzheimer's disease but also as a predictor of conversion to other neurodegenerative diseases. Although MCI has been defined clinically, accurate and efficient diagnosis is still challenging. Although neuroimaging techniques hold promise, compared to commonly used biomarkers including amyloid plaques, tau protein levels and brain tissue atrophy, neuroimaging biomarkers are less well validated. In this article, we propose a connectomes-scale assessment of structural and functional connectivity in MCI via two independent multimodal DTI/fMRI datasets. We first used DTI-derived structural profiles to explore and tailor the most common and consistent landmarks, then applied them in a whole-brain functional connectivity analysis. The next step fused the results from two independent datasets together and resulted in a set of functional connectomes with the most differentiation power, hence named as "connectome signatures." Our results indicate that these "connectome signatures" have significantly high MCI-vs-controls classification accuracy, at more than 95%. Interestingly, through functional meta-analysis, we found that the majority of "connectome signatures" are mainly derived from the interactions among different functional networks, for example, cognition-perception and cognition-action domains, rather than from within a single network. Our work provides support for using functional "connectome signatures" as neuroimaging biomarkers of MCI.
