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

Limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy neuropathological change (LATE-NC) is common in older adults and is associated with neurodegeneration, cognitive decline and dementia. In this MRI and pathology investigation we tested the hypothesis that LATE-NC is associated with abnormalities in white matter structural integrity and connectivity of a network of brain regions typically harboring TDP-43 inclusions in LATE, referred to here as the "LATE-NC network". Ex-vivo diffusion MRI and detailed neuropathological data were collected on 184 community-based older adults. Linear regression revealed an independent association of higher LATE-NC stage with lower diffusion anisotropy in a set of white matter connections forming a pattern of connectivity that is consistent with the stereotypical spread of this pathology in the brain. Graph theory analysis revealed an association of higher LATE-NC stage with weaker integration and segregation in the LATE-NC network. Abnormalities were significant in stage 3, suggesting that they are detectable in later stages of the disease. Finally, LATE-NC network abnormalities were associated with faster cognitive decline, specifically in episodic and semantic memory.
