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

objectiveAging decreases dopamine transporter (DAT) availability of striatum both in humans and rodents. We aimed to investigate the relationship of DAT availabilities from ventral striatum, caudate nucleus, and putamen with aging in healthy subjects.

methods

resultsA total of 166 healthy subjects (109 males and 57 females) were included in this study. SBRs of ventral striatum, caudate nucleus, and putamen were negatively correlated with age. In young males, SBRs of ventral striatum and putamen were not correlated with aging. However, SBRs of caudate nucleus showed the trend toward negative correlation with age in the young group. In old males, SBR of caudate nucleus was negatively correlated with age and SBR of ventral striatum showed a trend toward negative correlation with age. Slopes of regression lines were not significantly different according to age groups in ventral striatum, caudate nucleus, or putamen. SBRs of ventral striatum, caudate nucleus, and putamen were negatively correlated with age in young females, but not in old females. Interestingly, slopes of regression line were significantly different between young and old females in ventral striatum, caudate nucleus, and putamen.

conclusionsWe have shown that slopes of regression lines of DAT availabilities and age were significantly different between young and old subjects in females, not in males. Therefore, sex has an impact on aging-related decline of striatal DAT availability.
