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

introductionStructural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often lacks diagnostic, prognostic, and monitoring value in Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly in early disease stages. To improve its utility, we aimed to identify optimal atrophy markers for different intended uses.

methodsWe included 363 older adults; cognitively unimpaired individuals who were negative or positive for amyloid beta (Aβ) and Aβ-positive patients with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, or dementia of the Alzheimer type. MRI and neuropsychological assessments were administered annually for up to 3 years.

resultsAccelerated atrophy of medial temporal lobe subregions was evident already during preclinical AD. Symptomatic disease stages most notably differed in their hippocampal and parietal atrophy signatures. Atrophy-cognition relationships varied by intended use and disease stage. DISCUSSION: With the appropriate marker, MRI can detect abnormal atrophy already during preclinical AD. To optimize performance, atrophy markers should be tailored to the targeted disease stage and intended use. HIGHLIGHTS: Subregional atrophy markers detect ongoing atrophy in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). Subjective cognitive decline in preclinical AD links to manifest atrophy. Optimal atrophy markers differ by the disease stage and intended use.
