Mapping Sleep's Oscillatory Events as a Biomarker of Alzheimer's Disease.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Memory-associated neural circuits produce oscillatory events within single-channel sleep electroencephalography (EEG), including theta bursts (TBs), sleep spindles (SPs) and multiple subtypes of slow waves (SWs). Changes in the temporal "coupling" of these events are proposed to serve as a biomarker for early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Methods: We analyzed data from 205 aging adults, including single-channel sleep EEG, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD-associated biomarkers, and Clinical Dementia Rating® (CDR®) scale. Individual SW events were sorted into high and low transition frequencies (TF) subtypes. We utilized time-frequency spectrogram locations within sleep EEG to "map" the precision of SW-TB and SW-SP neural circuit coupling in relation to amyloid positivity (by CSF Aβ Results: Cognitive impairment was associated with lower TB spectral power in both high and low TF SW-TB coupling (p<0.001, p=0.001). Cognitively unimpaired, amyloid positive aging adults demonstrated lower precision of the neural circuits propagating high TF SW-TB (p<0.05) and low TF SW-SP (p<0.005) event coupling, compared to cognitively unimpaired amyloid negative individuals. Biomarker correlations were significant for high TF SW-TB coupling with CSF Aβ Interpretation: Loss of integrity in neural circuits underlying sleep-dependent memory processing can be measured for both SW-TB and SW-SP coupling in spectral time-frequency space. Breakdown of sleep's memory circuit integrity is associated with amyloid positivity, higher levels of AD-associated pathology, and cognitive impairment.
