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

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical condition at the very beginning of dementia continuum whose heterogeneity prevents a precise prediction of clinical evolution. In this work, in a cohort composed of MCI, healthy controls (HC), and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, graph theory (GT) was combined with virtual brain modelling (TVB) to extract the information on network topology and dynamics embedded in magnetic resonance imaging data. With this approach, the analysis was extended to a multiparametric space and brought from the group to the subject-specific level. The comparison of network properties in HC, MCI, and AD revealed a profound reshaping of brain connectivity, which mainly affected the default mode, limbic, attention, and somatosensory networks. Interestingly, positivity to AD biomarkers (Aβ and τ) in MCI correlated with network topology, while a TVB parameter (i.e., recurrent excitation) correlated with reduced global cognition (MMSE score). The combination of GT and TVB parameters was superior to the individual techniques alone in providing a subject-specific phenotype of MCI sensitive to molecular biomarkers and correlated (R
