Functional-structural co-dependent brain mapping of metamemory in amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
Article in Alzheimer's research & therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundMetamemory, a measure of introspective awareness of memory performance, provides an internally-generated drive, profoundly impacting external memory activities. Given its role in regulating memory along internal-external axis, understanding metamemory and underlying neural mechanisms in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is crucial for memory improvement. The present study was aimed to explore metamemory alterations and structural and functional remodeling characteristics underlying metamemory, as well as key brain regions that potentially moderated its intrinsic associations with age, education, and first-order cognition in aMCI.
methodsSixty-seven aMCI patients and fifty-two healthy controls underwent neuropsychological assessments and magnetic resonance imaging in this case-control study. Generalized linear models analyzed metamemory-related neuroimaging characteristics. Moderation analysis examined their roles in relationships with age, education, and first-order cognition.
resultsPatients with aMCI exhibited lower estimation of performance in prediction (EOP-pre) (P < 0.001) and postdiction (EOP-post) (P = 0.002). Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) of left parahippocampal gyrus (PHG.L) (P = 0.026) and mediodorsal medial magnocellular (ltMDm) (P = 0.001), along with group × ALFF interaction effects in right cuneus (P = 0.010) and inferior parietal gyrus (P = 0.011) affected metamemory. Functional connectivity between ltMDm and left anterior cingulate cortex-pregenual (ACCpre.L) alleviated the association between metamemory and recall (P = 0.030). PHG.L ALFF enhanced the association between education and metamemory (P = 0.043).
conclusionsMetamemory in aMCI was associated with parietotemporal and thalamic functional remodeling. Regions including ltMDm, ACCpre.L, and PHG.L influenced its intrinsic relationships with education/recall, providing new insights for aMCI interventions.
