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

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is frequently found post mortem in Alzheimer's dementia, but often undetected during life especially since in vivo hallmarks of CAA and its vascular damage become overt relatively late in the disease process. Decreased neurovascular coupling to visual stimulation has been put forward as an early MRI marker for CAA disease severity. The current study investigates the role of neurovascular coupling in AD related dementia and its early stages. We included 25 subjective cognitive impairment, 33 mild cognitive impairment and 17 dementia patients and 44 controls. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and neuropsychological assessment. Univariate general linear modeling analyses were used to assess neurovascular coupling between patient groups and controls. Moreover, linear regression analyses was used to assess the associations between neurovascular coupling and cognition. Our data show that BOLD amplitude is lower in dementia (mean 0.8 ± 0.2, p = 0.001) and MCI patients (mean 0.9 ± 0.3, p = 0.004) compared with controls (mean 1.1 ± 0.2). A low BOLD amplitude was associated with low scores in multiple cognitive domains. We conclude that cerebrovascular dysfunction, most likely due CAA, is an important comorbidity in early stages of dementia and has an independent effect on cognition.
