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

To investigate patterns of hippocampal subfield atrophy among patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment, stratified by severity of small vessel disease (SVD) and corresponding associations with cognitive domains. One hundred seventy-six MCI subjects (mean age = 65.56 years, SD = 8.77) underwent neuropsychological assessments and magnetic resonance imaging. SVD was rated 0 (no SVD), 1 (mild SVD) and 2 (moderate to severe SVD) based on load of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and lacunes. Demographics, cerebrovascular risk factors, grey and white matter volumes and hippocampal subfield atrophies were compared across SVD severity through ANCOVA analyses. Subjects were categorized into positive or negative SVD-hippocampal subfield atrophy (HSA) and influence of positive SVD-HSA on episodic memory and frontal executive function was evaluated through ANCOVA analyses. All analyses corrected for covariates and bias-corrected bootstrap estimation with 1000 resamples was applied with Bonferroni correction. Hippocampal subfield atrophy worsened with increasing SVD severity. Positive SVD-HSA was characterised by significant atrophy in the subiculum, CA1, CA4, molecular layer and dentate gyrus. Greater atrophy was seen with moderate to severe SVD compared to mild SVD in these subfields. Atrophy in the five subfields of SVD-HSA was significantly associated with poor episodic memory and frontal executive function. Presence and burden of SVD influences the pattern and severity of hippocampal subfield atrophy. SVD-related hippocampal subfield atrophy is associated with poorer episodic memory and frontal executive function in mild cognitive impairment.
