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

introductionEnlarged perivascular spaces (EPVSs) have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, but their relationships with amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau pathology remain unclear.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 51 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia from a memory clinic in Thailand. EPVS severity in centrum semiovale (CSO) and basal ganglia (BG) was rated on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Aβ burden and tau deposition were assessed using positron emission tomography imaging. Cognitive change was measured using longitudinal Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores.

resultsHigher CSO-EPVS severity was associated with greater Aβ and tau burden, particularly when CSO-EPVS exceeded BG-EPVS severity. No significant associations were observed for BG-EPVS. Greater CSO-EPVS severity was also linked to greater decline in follow-up MoCA scores. DISCUSSION: CSO-EPVS may reflect region-specific processes linked to AD pathology, while their association with cognitive decline may be mediated by underlying amyloid and tau burden.
