Enhanced Association of Tau Pathology and Cognitive Impairment in Mild Cognitive Impairment Subjects with Behavior Symptoms.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) individuals with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are more likely to develop dementia.
objectiveWe sought to understand the relationship between neuroimaging markers such as tau pathology and cognitive symptoms both with and without the presence of NPS during the prodromal period of Alzheimer's disease.
methodsA total of 151 MCI subjects with tau positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning with 18F AV-1451, amyloid-β (Aβ) PET scanning with florbetapir or florbetaben, magnetic resonance imaging, and cognitive and behavioral evaluations were selected from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. A 4-group division approach was proposed using amyloid (A-/A+) and behavior (B-/B+) status: A-B-, A-B+, A+B-, and A+B+. Pearson's correlation test was conducted for each group to examine the association between tau deposition and cognitive performance.
resultsNo statistically significant association between tau deposition and cognitive impairment was found for subjects without behavior symptoms in either the A-B-or A+B-groups after correction for false discovery rate. In contrast, tau deposition was found to be significantly associated with cognitive impairment in entorhinal cortex and temporal pole for the A-B+ group and nearly the whole cerebrum for the A+B+ group.
conclusionEnhanced associations between tauopathy and cognitive impairment are present in MCI subjects with behavior symptoms, which is more prominent in the presence of elevated amyloid pathology. MCI individuals with NPS may thus be at greater risk for further cognitive decline with the increase of tau deposition in comparison to those without NPS.
