Cerebrovascular reactivity deficits in cognitively unimpaired older adults: vasodilatory versus vasoconstrictive responses.
Article in Neurobiology of aging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) deficits may index vulnerability to vascular brain injury and cognitive impairment, but findings on age-related changes in CVR have been mixed, and no studies to date have directly compared age-related changes in CVR to hypercapnia versus hypocapnia. The present study compared CVR in 31 cognitively unimpaired older adults (ages 55-87) and 30 healthy younger adults (ages 18-28). Breath control tasks induced CVR to hypocapnia (0.1 Hz paced breathing) and hypercapnia (15s breath holds) during pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling MRI. Relative to younger adults, cognitively unimpaired older adults displayed lower levels of global CVR under both hypocapnia and hypercapnia. In region-of-interest analyses, older adults exhibited attenuated CVR to hypocapnia in select frontal and temporal regions, and lower CVR to hypercapnia in all cortical, limbic, and subcortical regions examined, relative to younger adults. Results indicate age-related deficits in CVR are detectible even in cognitively unimpaired older adults and are disproportionately related to vasodilatory (hypercapnia) responses relative to vasoconstrictive (hypocapnia) responses. Findings may offer means for early detection of cerebrovascular dysfunction.
