Dynamic Alterations of Functional Systems in Alzheimer's Disease: A Co-Activation Pattern Analysis.
Article in Human brain mapping, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
While resting-state brain dysfunctions have been extensively investigated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the dynamic alterations of functional systems remain poorly understood. We employed co-activation pattern (CAP) analysis to characterize the functional-state alterations in 243 participants using resting-state fMRI data and applied graph theory analysis to estimate corresponding topological properties. The CAP analysis identified five distinct brain states across groups: State 1 (limbic network dominated), State 2 (dorsal attention network (DAN) and central executive network dominated), State 3 (default mode network and central executive network dominated), State 4 (somatomotor network and ventral attention network dominated), and State 5 (DAN, sensorimotor, and visual networks dominated). Compared to cognitively unimpaired individuals, State 3 demonstrated significantly reduced persistence and resilience in both mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD groups. Additionally, both clinical groups (MCI and AD) exhibited decreased transitions from State 2 to State 5 and reduced self-transitions within State 3. Graph theory analysis revealed that compared to cognitively unimpaired individuals, MCI and AD individuals had increased node degree centrality and node efficiency, alongside decreased node local efficiency in regions within the default mode network (DAN) and visual network, which corresponded well with CAP analysis results. Our findings provide a multiscale framework linking dynamic state instability to static network reorganization, advancing understanding of the dynamic functional alterations underlying cognitive decline in AD spectrum disorders.
