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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is an indicator of cerebrovascular health, and its signature in familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) remains unknown. The primary aim was to investigate CVR in genetic FTD using an fMRI index of vascular contractility termed resting-state fluctuation amplitudes (RSFAs) and to assess whether RSFA differences are moderated by age. A secondary aim was to study the relationship between RSFA and cognition.

methodsParticipants included presymptomatic and symptomatic

resultsA total of 284 presymptomatic and 124 symptomatic sequence variation carriers, and 265 noncarriers, were included in the analysis (mean age 48.17 years, 55% female). Across the sample, symptomatic carriers exhibited lower RSFA and a greater age-related RSFA decline predominantly in the medial frontal (-0.07 standard units, DISCUSSION: CVR impairment in genetic FTD has a predilection for the middle frontal and posterior cortex, and its preservation may yield a cognitive benefit for at-risk individuals. Although findings do not provide causality and warrant replication, they support the notion that vascular dysfunction in familial FTD may be a target for biomarker identification and disease-modifying efforts.
