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

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is known as the prodromal stage of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) spectrum. The recent studies have advised that functional alterations in the dorsal attention network (DAN) could be used as a sensitive marker to forecast the progression from MCI to AD. Therefore, our aim was to investigate specific functional alterations in the DAN in MCI. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science and chose relevant articles based on the three functional indicators, the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and functional connectivity (FC) in the DAN in MCI. Based on the activation likelihood estimation, we accomplished the aggregation of specific coordinates and the analysis of functional alterations. Results: A total of 38 studies were involved in our meta-analysis. By summing up included articles, we acquired specific brain region alterations in the DAN mainly in the superior temporal gyrus (STG), middle temporal gyrus (MTG), superior frontal gyrus (SFG), middle frontal gyrus (MFG), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), precentral gyrus (preCG), inferior parietal lobule (IPL), superior parietal lobule (SPL). At the same time, the key area that shows anti-interaction with default mode network included the IPL in the DAN. The one showing interactions with executive control network was mainly in the MFG. Finally, the frontoparietal network showed a close connection with DAN especially in the IPL and IFG. Conclusion: This study demonstrated abnormal functional markers in the DAN and its interactions with other networks in MCI group, respectively. It provided the foundation for future targeted interventions in preventing the progression of AD. Systematic Review Registration: [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/], identifier [CRD42021287958].
