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

backgroundSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a putative Alzheimer's disease (AD) precursor without objective neuropsychological deficits. The hippocampus plays an important role in cognitive function and emotional responses and is generally aberrant in SCD. However, previous studies have mainly focused on static functional connectivity (sFC) by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in SCD individuals, and it remains unclear whether hippocampal dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) changes exist in SCD and whether those changes are associated with subtle changes in cognitive function or affect.

methodsSeventy SCD patients and 65 healthy controls were recruited. Demographic data, comprehensive neuropsychology assessments, and resting-state fMRI data were collected. The bilateral anterior and posterior hippocampi were selected as seeds to investigate the static and dynamic functional connectivity alterations in SCD.

resultsCompared to healthy controls, subjects with SCD exhibited: (1) decreased sFC between the left caudal hippocampus and left precuneus; (2) decreased dFC variability between the bilateral caudal hippocampus and precuneus; (3) increased dFC variability between the bilateral rostral hippocampus and caudate nucleus; and (4) increased dFC variability between the left rostral hippocampus and left olfactory cortex. Additionally, the attention scores were positively correlated with dFC variability between the left posterior hippocampus and left precuneus, and the dFC variability between the bilateral anterior hippocampus and caudate nucleus was positively correlated with depression scores and negatively correlated with global cognition scores.

conclusionSCD individuals exhibited abnormal sFC and dFC in the anterior-posterior hippocampus, and abnormal dFC was more widespread than abnormal sFC. A combination of sFC and dFC provides a new perspective for exploring the brain pathophysiological mechanisms in SCD and offers potential neuroimaging biomarkers for the early diagnosis and intervention of AD.
