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: The "head-turning sign" (HTS) and Neurocognitive Questionnaire (Neucop-Q) capture Objective: To investigate the neuroanatomical correlates of HTS and specific Neucop-Q response patterns across the AD continuum. Methods: One hundred thirty-seven individuals (54 cognitively normal controls, 9 preclinical AD, 36 mild cognitive impairment, and 38 AD dementia patients) underwent clinical evaluation and structural MRI. Gray matter volumes were analyzed using voxel-based morphometry with MVision software based on a Multi-Atlas Likelihood Fusion approach. Regional volumes were normalized to intracranial volume and adjusted for age and sex. Group differences were tested with false discovery rate (FDR) correction, and logistic regression assessed associations between regional volume and Neucop-Q responses. Results: HTS was significantly associated with right hippocampal atrophy (FDR-corrected p = 0.024). In the logistic regression analyses, none of the associations survived correction for multiple comparisons. The NimpCimpPnor combination was correlated with medial and inferior temporal lobe atrophy (FDR < 0.01) and larger globus pallidus (FDR = 0.034), with logistic regression surviving correction. Conclusions: HTS reflected reduced right hippocampal volume, whereas NimpCimpPnor involved broader temporal atrophy with relatively larger pallidal volumes, suggesting distinct regional gray matter patterns across behavioral response profiles.
