Integrating Neuroimaging Measures in Nursing Research.
Review in Biological research for nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMedical and scientific advancement worldwide has led to a longer lifespan. With the population aging comes the risk of developing cognitive decline. The incorporation of neuroimaging measures in evaluating cognitive changes is limited in nursing research. The aim of this review is to introduce nurse scientists to neuroimaging measures employed to assess the association between brain and cognitive changes.
methodsRelevant literature was identified by searching CINAHL, Web of Science, and PubMed databases using the following keywords: "neuroimaging measures," "aging," "cognition," "qualitative scoring," "cognitive ability," "molecular," "structural," and "functional."
resultsNeuroimaging measures can be categorized into structural, functional, and molecular imaging approaches. The structural imaging technique visualizes the anatomical regions of the brain. Visual examination and volumetric segmentation of select structural sequences extract information such as white matter hyperintensities and cerebral atrophy. Functional imaging techniques evaluate brain regions and underlying processes using blood-oxygen-dependent signals. Molecular imaging technique is the real-time visualization of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels in a given region. Examples of biological measures associated with neurodegeneration include decreased glutamine level, elevated total choline, and elevated Myo-inositol. DISCUSSION: Nursing is at the forefront of addressing upstream factors impacting health outcomes across a lifespan of a population at increased risk of progressive cognitive decline. Nurse researchers can become more facile in using these measures both in qualitative and quantitative methodology by leveraging previously gathered neuroimaging clinical data for research purposes to better characterize the associations between symptom progression, disease risk, and health outcomes.
