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

Objectives: Studies have recently shown an alteration of the structural connectivity and a dysfunctional glymphatic system in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the structural connectivity and glymphatic system on the cognitive function of patients with CKD. Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with CKD and healthy controls. The CKD group was divided into two regarding their cognitive function. All patients received brain magnetic resonance imaging, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We calculated the measures of structural connectivity and diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) index, a neuroimaging marker of the glymphatic system function, and compared the indices between groups. Results: The mean clustering coefficient, local efficiency, and small-worldness index in patients with CKD were lower than those in healthy controls (0.125 ± 0.056 vs. 0.167 ± 0.082, Conclusion: We found lower DTI-ALPS index in patients with CKD, which could be related with glymphatic system dysfunction. Moreover, those with cognitive impairment in the CKD group had a lower index than those without, indicating a link between the glymphatic system function and cognitive function.
