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

introductionThe prognostic value of subcortical gray matter structures for dementia beyond the hippocampus remains unclear.

methodsWe included participants with subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment from two memory clinic-based cohorts (Amsterdam Dementia Cohort and National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center) and one population-based cohort (Rotterdam Study). We assessed volumes of subcortical structures on magnetic resonance imaging and determined 5-year dementia risk using Cox models.

resultsOf 7076 participants (mean age: 66-69 years, 58.8%-61.0% women; N DISCUSSION: Hippocampal and amygdalar volume are consistently associated with dementia risk in individuals with subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment, which may hold potential for personalized prognosis. HIGHLIGHTS: Seven thousand seventy-six participants from three large longitudinal cohorts were followed for a maximum of 5 years. Hippocampal volume is associated with 5-year risk of dementia in subjective cognitive decline (SCD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Amygdalar volume is associated with a 5-year risk of dementia in SCD or MCI. Stratifying by SCD and MCI revealed no consistent major differences.
