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

objectiveTo investigate regional

methodsThis retrospective study included 38 consecutive participants who underwent ¹⁸F-flutemetamol PET using a high-resolution dhPET scanner (SET-5002, Shimadzu). Participants were classified as Aβ⁺ or Aβ⁻ based on cortical uptake patterns. Voxels of interest were anatomically defined using OpenMAP-T1, an MRI-based automated brain parcellation software, and merged into 33 regions for SUVR calculation. SUVRs were calculated using the Centiloid whole cerebellar VOIs as the reference region. Group comparisons were assessed using two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, followed by Mann-Whitney U tests with false discovery rate correction. Age and MMSE were compared using nonparametric tests, and gender using Fisher's exact test.

resultsThe Aβ⁺ (n = 25) and Aβ⁻ (n = 13) groups did not differ in age, gender, or MMSE. ANOVA revealed significant effects of group, VOI, and group×VOI interaction (all p < 0.001). After FDR correction, SUVRs were significantly higher in the Aβ⁺ group across widespread cortical gray matter, cerebral white matter, and subcortical structures, as well as in the choroid plexus and cerebellar gray matter (all q < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in cerebellar white matter, cerebellar peduncle, or brainstem regions.

conclusionHigh-resolution dhPET revealed significantly higher SUVRs in Aβ⁺ compared with Aβ⁻ subjects in supratentorial structures, including cerebral white matter, and in cerebellar gray matter.
