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

objectiveScarce studies have elucidated the relationship between the microstructure changes of white matter (WM) and cognitive domains in overweight (OW). This study aimed to evaluate the WM microstructure changes and the relationship with the cognitive domains and cognition-related plasma biomarkers.

methodsThis study recruited 77 standard weight (SW) and 42 OW participants. The WM integrity was analyzed using neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The region of interest (ROI) values of NODDI and DTI were calculated and compared between groups. The correlations between WM microstructure and cognitive domains and cognition-related plasma biomarkers were also recorded.

resultsThe ROI analysis revealed significant differences in fractional anisotropy (FA) and orientation dispersion index (ODI) in extensive WM regions (p < 0.05). Further analysis showed that NODDI parameter values of the uncinate fasciculus (UF) showed significant correlations with the cognitive domain. Additionally, other abnormal WM microstructures of OW were associated with cognitive domains and cognition-related plasma biomarkers to varying degrees.

conclusionThe findings evidence that abnormalities of the WM microstructure may indicate typical changes of OW, and these microstructure abnormalities are associated with cognitive functions and cognition-related plasma biomarkers.
