Moderation of Amyloid-β Deposition on the Effect of Cholinesterase Inhibitors on Cognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Background: Clinical trial findings on cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are inconclusive, offering limited support for their MCI treatment. Given that nearly half of amnestic MCI cases lack cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease; this Aβ heterogeneity may explain inconsistent results. Objective: This study aimed to assess whether Aβ deposition moderates ChEI effects on amnestic MCI cognition. Methods: We examined 118 individuals with amnestic MCI (ages 55-90) in a longitudinal cohort study. Baseline and 2-year follow-up assessments included clinical evaluations, neuropsychological testing, and multimodal neuroimaging. Generalized linear models were primarily analyzed to test amyloid positivity's moderation of ChEI effects on cognitive change over 2 years. Cognitive outcomes included Mini-Mental Status Examination score, the total score of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease neuropsychological battery, and Clinical Dementia Rating-sum of boxes. Results: The analysis found no significant ChEI use x amyloid positivity interaction for all cognitive outcomes. ChEI use, irrespective of Aβ status, was associated with more cognitive decline over the 2-year period. Conclusions: Aβ pathology does not appear to moderate ChEI effects on cognitive decline in MCI.
