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

backgroundMicroglial activation has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) is a marker of microglial activation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrelationships of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2, AD pathology, as well as minimal depressive symptoms (MDSs), and cognition.

methodsA total of 545 non-demented individuals from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort were included in our study. The average age of the total population was 72.6 years and the percentage of females was 42.6%. Linear regression models were conducted to investigate the linear relationships of MDSs with CSF sTREM2, AD pathology, cognition, and brain structure. Mediation models and structural equation models (SEM) were conducted to examine whether CSF sTREM2 mediated the relationships of MDSs with AD pathology and cognition.

resultsResults revealed that individuals with MDSs had lower CSF sTREM2 levels than normal controls. Linear regression showed that MDSs were linearly associated with CSF sTREM2 (P

conclusionsMDSs are associated with amyloid pathology and cognition. CSF sTREM2 may potentially be an intervenable target between depression and AD pathology.
