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: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) contribute to cognitive decline and increase risk for dementia. Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is a neurobehavioral syndrome characterized by the emergence and persistence of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in later life as an at-risk state for incident cognitive decline and dementia. Both WMH and MBI are common in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), but few studies have established the link between these two risk markers in this population. Methods: Participants were memory clinic patients with MCI from the French MEMENTO study. WMH volume was quantified using brain magnetic resonance imaging. Participants were categorized into MBI+ and MBI- status based on NPS persistence, and the association between MBI status and domains with WMH volume was assessed with linear regression. Results: A total of 768 participants [mean age 72.8 (SD=8.00); 57% female] were included. MBI (i.e., persistent NPS) was present in 229 participants (29.8%). MBI+ status was significantly associated with lower MMSE score and male sex. Compared to MBI-, MBI+ status was associated with 9.4% higher WMH volume [ Conclusions: In a memory clinic sample of older adults with MCI, MBI was associated with higher WMH volume. Global MBI status outperformed MMSE and individual MBI domains, supporting the utility of MBI, a multi-NPS-domain composite assessment, for predicting WMH volume.
