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

Patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) are at high risk of developing dementia. This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and an independent component analysis (ICA) approach to explore changes in functional connectivity (FC) in the default mode network (DMN), executive control network (ECN), and salience network (SN). Thirty patients with aMCI and 30 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. All the participants underwent an rs-fMRI scan. The brain FC in DMN, ECN, and SN was calculated using the ICA approach. We found that the FC of brain regions in DMN decreased significantly and that of brain regions in ECN increased, which was in accordance with the findings of previous studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and aMCI. We also found that the FC of brain regions in SN increased, which was different from the findings of previous studies on AD. The increase in FC in brain regions in SN might result from different pathophysiological states in AD and aMCI, indicating that a decrease in FC in SN does not occur in a person with aMCI. These results are consistent with those of previous studies using the voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity approach and seed-based correlation analysis. We therefore considered that the decrease in FC in DMN and the increase in FC in ECN and SN might be peculiar patterns observed on the rs-fMRI of a person with aMCI. These findings may contribute to the development of imaging biomarkers for the diagnosis of aMCI.
