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

objectiveCardiometabolic risk refers to a set of interconnected factors of vascular and metabolic origin associated with both cardiovascular disease and various brain disorders. Although midlife cardiometabolic risk is associated with future brain dysfunction, emerging evidence suggests that alterations in autonomic and central nervous system function may precede increases in cardiometabolic risk.

methodsThe present study tested whether patterns of cerebral blood flow in brain areas associated with autonomic regulation were associated with increases in overall cardiometabolic risk. A community sample of 109 adults with resting systolic blood pressure between 120 and 139 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 89 mm Hg, or both underwent pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling to quantify cerebral blood flow responses to cognitively challenging tasks. Cardiometabolic risk and cerebral blood flow measurements were collected at baseline and at a 2-year follow-up.

resultsRegression analyses showed that greater frontostriatal cerebral blood flow responses to cognitive challenge were associated with higher cardiometabolic risk at follow-up (β = 0.26 [95% confidence interval = 0.07 to 0.44], t = 2.81, p = .006, ΔR = 0.04). These findings were specific to frontostriatal brain regions, as frontoparietal, insular-subcortical, and total cerebral blood flow were not associated with progression of cardiometabolic risk. Moreover, cardiometabolic risk was not associated with frontostriatal cerebral blood flow responses 2 years later.

conclusionsFrontostriatal brain function may precede and possibly forecast the progression of cardiometabolic risk.
