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

The atrophy of the hippocampus and its subfields represents a critical hallmark of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, the trajectories of stratum radiatum, lacunosum, and moleculare (SRLM) integrity along the AD continuum are still unclear. This study encompassed 178 amyloid-negative cognitively unimpaired controls (CU A-), 91 amyloid-positive cognitively unimpaired individuals (CU A+), 90 amyloid-positive patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI A+), and 14 amyloid-positive AD patients (AD A+), to model the AD continuum. T1-weighted images facilitated the hippocampal volume segmentation, while T2-weighted images enabled both visual hippocampal atrophy and SRLM assessments. Furthermore, the associations between hippocampal metrics and cognitive function were evaluated. Across the AD continuum, CU A+ individuals exhibited lower visual SRLM integrity score compared to their CU A- counterparts. Both MCI A+ and AD A+ groups displayed reduced SRLM integrity score, increased visual hippocampal atrophy score, and decreased hippocampal volume compared to CU A-. Correlational analyses revealed significant associations between hippocampal metrics and cognitive function. Hippocampal atrophy progresseses along the AD continuum, with visual SRLM integrity score declining in the early stages of AD. These results suggest that SRLM integrity may serve as a sensitive marker for early detection of AD.
