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

Mid-life metabolic disease (ie, obesity, diabetes, and prediabetes) causes vascular dysfunction and is a risk factor for vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), particularly in women. Using middle-aged mice, we modeled metabolic disease (obesity/prediabetes) via chronic high-fat (HF) diet and modeled VCID via unilateral common carotid artery occlusion. VCID impaired spatial memory in both sexes, but episodic-like memory in females only. HF diet caused greater weight gain and glucose intolerance in middle-aged females than males. HF diet alone impaired episodic-like memory in both sexes, but spatial memory in females only. Finally, the combination of HF diet and VCID elicited cognitive impairments in all tests, in both sexes. Sex-specific correlations were found between metabolic outcomes and memory. Notably, both visceral fat and the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha correlated with spatial memory deficits in middle-aged females, but not males. Overall, our data show that HF diet causes greater metabolic impairment and a wider array of cognitive deficits in middle-aged females than males. The combination of HF diet with VCID elicits deficits across multiple cognitive domains in both sexes. Our data are in line with clinical data, which shows that mid-life metabolic disease increases VCID risk, particularly in females.
