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

purposeTo investigate brain functional correlates of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD).

methodsThirty-nine consecutive iRBD patients, 17 with (RBD-MCI, 73.6±6.5 years), and 22 without (RBD-NC, 69.6±6.1 years) MCI underwent neuropsychological assessment,

resultsThe MCI-VOI was characterized by a relative hypometabolism involving precuneus and cuneus (height threshold p<0.0001). IRCA (height threshold p<0.0001) revealed a brain functional network involving regions in frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, thalamus, caudate, and red nuclei in iRBD patients. In controls, the network was smaller and involved temporal, occipital, cingulate cortex, and cerebellum. Moreover, MCI-VOI metabolism was correlated with verbal memory (p=0.01), executive functions (p=0.0001), and nigro-putaminal SBR (p=0.005). Finally, MCI-VOI was involved in a white matter network including cingulate fasciculus and corpus callosum.

conclusionOur data suggest that cuneus/precuneus is a hub of a large functional network subserving cognitive function in iRBD.
