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

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are markers of cerebral small vessel disease and are associated with higher risk of typical amnestic Alzheimer's disease (tAD). Little is known about the frequency and distribution of WMH in atypical variants of AD, including logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA) and posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). We investigated WMHs in 75 LPA, 39 PCA, and 50 tAD patients and associations with age, beta-amyloid PET burden, and cognition. PCA had greater subcortical WMHs in right occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes compared to LPA, and greater parieto-occipital subcortical and occipital periventricular WMHs than tAD. LPA had greater subcortical WMHs in left parietal lobe and deep white matter WMHs than PCA, and greater fronto-occipital subcortical and occipital periventricular WMHs than tAD. Total WMH increased with increasing age but was not related to beta-amyloid burden. Greater WMH was associated with visuoperceptual performance in LPA and PCA after correcting for atrophy. WMH topography differs across AD variants. Further work is needed to determine whether they reflect cerebrovascular disease or regionally specific neurodegenerative changes.
