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 purposeSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) may be the first stage corresponding to subtle cognitive changes in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) spectrum disorders. We evaluated the differences in cortical thinning patterns among patients with SCD who progressed to mild cognitive impairment or dementia (pSCD), those who remained stable (sSCD), and healthy normal controls (NCs).

methodsWe retrospectively recruited SCD subjects (14 pSCD and 21 sSCD cases) and 29 NCs. Structural 3-dimensional-T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was performed using a single 1.5 Tesla scanner. Freesurfer software was used to map cortical thickness for group comparisons.

resultsCompared with NC group, the sSCD group showed diffuse cortical atrophy associated with bilateral fronto-parieto-temporal area. The pSCD group showed further characteristic cortical atrophy in AD-vulnerable regions including the inferior parieto-temporal and middle temporal areas. Cortical thinning in the bilateral medial frontal areas was observed in patients with sSCD and involved the right inferior temporal and left precentral areas in those with pSCD.

conclusionsOur study showed that SCD subjects exhibit different cortical thinning patterns depending on their prognosis.
