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

aimsWe evaluated whether Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) subtypes could be empirically derived within the Sino Longitudinal Study on Cognitive Decline (SILCODE) SCD cohort and examined associated neuroimaging markers, biomarkers, and clinical outcomes.

methodsA cluster analysis was performed on eight neuropsychological test scores from 124 SCD SILCODE participants and 57 normal control (NC) subjects. Structural and functional neuroimaging indices were used to evaluate the SCD subgroups.

resultsFour subtypes emerged: (1) dysexecutive/mixed SCD (n = 23), (2) neuropsychiatric SCD (n = 24), (3) amnestic SCD (n = 22), and (4) cluster-derived normal (n = 55) who exhibited normal performance in neuropsychological tests. Compared with the NC group, each subgroup showed distinct patterns in gray matter (GM) volume and the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF). Lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values were only found in the neuropsychiatric SCD group relative to NC.

conclusionThe identification of empirically derived SCD subtypes demonstrates the presence of heterogeneity in SCD neuropsychological profiles. The cluster-derived normal group may represent the majority of SCD individuals who do not show progressive cognitive decline; the dysexecutive/mixed SCD and amnestic SCD might represent high-risk groups with progressing cognitive decline; and finally, the neuropsychiatric SCD may represent a new topic in SCD research.
