Analysis of advanced diffusion models assessing white matter microstructure in Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
To investigate the effectiveness of diffusion quantitative parameters in detecting microstructural changes in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and evaluate the relationship between diffusivity and cognitive function. The study enrolled 43 patients and 16 healthy controls. All participants underwent diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images were further processed to obtain diffusion MRI models and multi-parameter values. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships between diffusion parameters and clinical cognitive scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of various parameters. Significant correlations were observed between neuropsychological scores and diffusion parameters across multiple brain regions. Specifically, the diffusion metrics most strongly related to MMSE and MoCA scores included RTOP, RTAP, ICVF, and FA, with RTOP and RTAP exhibiting the strongest relationship to cognitive function. ROC analysis of DTI, NODDI, and MAP parameters for diagnosing AD indicated satisfactory performance. DTI, NODDI, and MAP-MRI diffusion models are all suitable markers for studying AD. The detailed parameters provide more information about the brain's microstructural changes in AD patients.
