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

Purpose: To explore neurodynamic bases underlying subjective cognitive decline (SCD) based on edge-centric functional network. Methods: 211 SCD patients and 210 healthy controls (HC) were recruited from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. Edge time series (ETS) were obtained based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance data. The top 10% co-fluctuation signals of all time points in ETS were extracted to construct the high-amplitude frame networks, and the co-fluctuation signals from the remaining time points were used to construct the low-amplitude frame networks. In both network states, the graph theory and network-based statistics (NBS) analyses were used to compare SCD and HC. The correlation of the imaging indicators with cognitive scores and apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 genes was performed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results: SCD exhibited lower peak amplitude and longer trough-to-trough duration (TTD) compared to HC. In both network states, the normalized clustering coefficient, normalized characteristic path length, small-worldness, and global efficiency of SCD were significantly reduced, and the altered nodal centralities of SCD predominantly exhibited a decreasing trend. However, the high-amplitude frame network identified more altered brain regions compared to the low-amplitude frame network. Furthermore, a SCD-related subnetwork was found in the high-amplitude frame network, which was composed of 11 brain regions and 13 edges. TTD was positively related to the number of APOE ε4 genes; the normalized characteristic path length, the betweenness centrality of right postcentral gyrus, and the connection between bilateral angular gyrus were correlated with cognitive scores. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that the edge-centric network framework reveals details of brain network alterations in SCD through different perspectives, and these alterations hold potential as novel biomarkers for SCD.
