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

While anatomical white matter (WM) alterations in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are well-established, functional WM dysregulation remains rarely investigated. The current study examines WM functional connectivity and network properties alterations in AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and further describes their spatially correlated genes. AD and MCI shared decreased functional connectivity, clustering coefficient, and local efficiency within WM regions involved in impaired sensory-motor, visual-spatial, language, or memory functions. AD-specific dysfunction (i.e., AD vs. MCI and cognitively unimpaired participants) was predominantly located in WM, including anterior and posterior limb of internal capsule, corona radiata, and left tapetum. This WM dysfunction spatially correlates with specific genes, which are enriched in multiple biological processes related to synaptic function and development, and are mostly active in neurons and astrocytes. These findings may contribute to understanding molecular, cellular, and functional signatures associated with WM damage in AD.
