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

The objective of this study was to compare participants at-risk for trauma-related neurodegeneration to a healthy control group on outcomes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as subjective symptoms, neurocognitive performance, plasma biomarkers, volumetrics, amyloid-beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET), and tau PET. Participants completed a comprehensive assessment protocol for neurodegenerative disease, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), PET scans for tau and Aβ, blood draw, subjective symptom reports related to neurodegenerative disease, and objective neurocognitive assessment. Surveys included the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Severity (ESS), PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS), and Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). PET scans were read by a neuroradiologist and rated positive or negative based upon established cutoffs. General linear models compared participants with TBI history with controls on outcomes. Age, years of education, military status, biological sex, race/ethnicity, and total self-reported TBIs were included as covariates in all models with Bonferroni corrections. Forward stepwise linear regression models were built to associate neuroimaging outcomes with symptom domains; inclusion in the linear regression required a
