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

backgroundAssociation of medial temporal lobe (MTL) metabolism with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) has not been evaluated considering their mixed disease (MD).

methods131 patients with AD, 133 with DLB, 122 with MD, and 28 normal controls (NCs) underwent neuropsychological tests, assessments for parkinsonism, cognitive fluctuation (CF), and visual hallucinations (VH), and

resultsAD was associated with hippocampal/entorhinal hypometabolism, whereas DLB was associated with relative amygdalar/hippocampal hypermetabolism. Relative MTL hypermetabolism was associated with lower attention/visuospatial/executive scores and severe parkinsonism in both the AD and DLB spectra and disease groups. Left hippocampal/entorhinal hypometabolism was associated with lower verbal memory scores, whereas right hippocampal hypometabolism was associated with lower visual memory scores in both the AD spectrum and disease groups. Relative MTL hypermetabolism was associated with an increased risk of CF and VH in the disease group, and relative amygdalar hypermetabolism was associated with an increased risk of VH in the DLB spectrum.

conclusionsEntorhinal-hippocampal hypometabolism and relative amygdala-hippocampal hypermetabolism could be characteristics of AD- and DLB-related neurodegeneration, respectively.
