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

introductionIt remains unclear whether the local amyloid-beta (Aβ) burden in key regions within the default mode network (DMN) affects network and cognitive functions.

methodsParticipants included 1002 individuals from the Chinese Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease Study cohort who underwent 18F-florbetapir positron emission tomography resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scanning and neuropsychological tests. The correlations between precuneus (PRC) Aβ burden, DMN function, and cognitive function were investigated.

resultsIn individuals with high PRC Aβ burden, there is a bidirectional relationship between DMN local function or functional connectivity and PRC Aβ deposition across various cognitive states, which is also linked to cognitive function. Even below the PRC Aβ threshold, DMN function remains related to PRC Aβ deposition and cognitive performance. DISCUSSION: The findings reveal the critical role of PRC Aβ deposition in disrupting neural networks associated with cognitive decline and the necessity of early detection and monitoring of PRC Aβ deposition. HIGHLIGHTS: Precuneus (PRC) Aβ burden impacts DMN function in different cognitive stages. High PRC Aβ burden is linked to early neural compensation and subsequent dysfunction. Low PRC Aβ burden correlates with neural changes before significant Aβ accumulation. Changes in DMN function and connectivity provide insights into AD progression. Early detection of regional Aβ burden can help monitor the risk of cognitive decline.
