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

Inflammation plays a major role in cognitive aging. Most studies on peripheral inflammation and cognitive aging focused on selected major inflammatory biomarkers. However, inflammatory markers are regulated and influenced by each other, and it is therefore important to consider a more comprehensive panel of markers to better capture diverse immune pathways and characterize the overall inflammatory profile of individuals. We explored 23 circulating inflammatory biomarkers using data from 1,743 participants without dementia (≥ 65 years-old) from the community-based, multiethnic Washington Heights Inwood Columbia Aging Project. Using principal component analysis (PCA), we developed six inflammatory profiles (PC-1 to PC-6) based on these 23 biomarkers and tested the association of resulting inflammatory profile with cognitive decline, over up to 12 years of follow-up. PC-1 described a pro-inflammatory profile characterized by high positive loadings for pro-inflammatory biomarkers. A higher PC-1 score was associated with lower baseline cognitive performances. No association of this profile with cognitive decline was observed in longitudinal analysis. However, PC-5 characterized by high PDGF-AA and RANTES was associated with a faster cognitive decline. Among older adults, a circulating pro-inflammatory immune profile is associated with lower baseline cognitive performance, and some specific pro-inflammatory cytokines might be associated with faster cognitive decline.
