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

objectiveNeuronal damage and neuroinflammation are important events occurring in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study was to clarify in vivo mutual relationships among abnormal tau deposition, neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in patients with early AD using positron emission tomography (PET) with [

methodsTwenty patients with early AD and 20 age-matched normal control (NC) subjects underwent a series of PET measurements with [

resultsThe [

conclusionsThe pattern of abnormal tau deposition was very similar to that of neuroinflammation in patients with early-stage AD. Specifically, the direct positive correlation of tau pathology with neuroinflammation in the parahippocampus suggests that neuronal damage in this region is closely associated with microglial activation. Consistently, tau aggregation in this region matters more than neuroinflammation regarding the cognitive deterioration in AD.
