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

This systematic review examined the longitudinal association between amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation and cognitive decline in cognitively healthy adults. It was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and Web of Science databases. The methodological quality of the selected articles was assessed. In fine, seventeen longitudinal clinical studies were included in this review. A minority (seven out of 17) of studies reported a statistically significant association or prediction of cognitive decline with Aβ change, measured by positron emission tomography (PET; n = 6) and lumbar puncture (n = 1), with a mean follow-up duration of 3.17 years for cognition and 2.99 years for Aβ. The studies reporting significant results with PET found differences in the frontal, posterior cingular, lateral parietal and global (whole brain) cortices as well as in the precuneus. Significant associations were found with episodic memory (n = 6) and global cognition (n = 1). Five of the seven studies using a composite cognitive score found significant results. A quality assessment revealed widespread methodological biases, such as failure to report or account for loss-to follow up and missing data, and failure to report
