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

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a prodromal stage in aging to possible progression to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD), where co-occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) accelerates the progression. Metabolic and mitochondrial abnormalities in ADRD and other neurodegenerative disorders have been widely suggested, while possible mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with etiopathology of both MCI and MDD. Hence, investigation of mitochondrial markers in MCI, MDD, and presence of both conditions is warranted. In total, 332 older adult participants were included: 168 with MCI, 108 with MCI plus remitted MDD (rMDD), and 56 with rMDD but without MCI. We measured plasma circulating mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA), lactate, and extracted nuclear mitochondrial encoded (NMt) single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) (n = 312). Non-parametric statistical tests on ccf-mtDNA and lactate levels were performed on the diagnosis, clinical and cardiometabolic variables. Binary sequence kernel association test (SKAT-O) and burden test were performed on NMt-SNV, adjusted for age, race, gender, type II diabetes, and APOE genotype. Lower level of lactate was observed in MCI (KW χ
