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

introductionThe multifactorial influence of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on neuroplasticity in neural networks is associated with improvements in cognitive dysfunction and sleep disorders. The mechanisms of rTMS and the transcriptional-neuronal correlation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with sleep disorders have not been fully elucidated.

methodsForty-six elderly participants with cognitive impairment (23 patients with low sleep quality and 23 patients with high sleep quality) underwent 4-week periods of neuronavigated rTMS of the angular gyrus and neuroimaging tests, and gene expression data for six post mortem brains were collected from another database. Transcription-neuroimaging association analysis was used to evaluate the effects on cognitive dysfunction and the underlying biological mechanisms involved.

resultsDistinct variable neuroplasticity in the anterior and posterior angular gyrus networks was detected in the low sleep quality group. These interactions were associated with multiple gene pathways, and the comprehensive effects were associated with improvements in episodic memory. DISCUSSION: Multitrajectory neuroplasticity is associated with complex biological mechanisms in AD-spectrum patients with sleep disorders. HIGHLIGHTS: This was the first transcription-neuroimaging study to demonstrate that multitrajectory neuroplasticity in neural circuits was induced via neuronavigated rTMS, which was associated with complex gene expression in AD-spectrum patients with sleep disorders. The interactions between sleep quality and neuronavigated rTMS were coupled with multiple gene pathways and improvements in episodic memory. The present strategy for integrating neuroimaging, rTMS intervention, and genetic data provide a new approach to comprehending the biological mechanisms involved in AD.
