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

Introduction: The precuneus (Pc) is a central hub integrating diverse brain functions, and it is early involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology, yet its subregional vulnerability remains poorly understood. This study aims to delineate the differential involvement and vulnerability of these subdivisions in the early stages of AD. Methods: We conducted a resting-state FC analysis of Pc subregions in 32 cognitively unimpaired carriers of the PSEN1 E280A mutation compared to 25 noncarriers using seed-based analyses. Results: As compared to noncarriers, we found that the group of asymptotic carriers had increased connectivity from the 7Am subregion toward the entorhinal cortex, superior temporal gyrus, insula-operculum, dlPFC, and somatosensory areas. Moreover, the POS2 subregion significantly decreased connectivity with the anterior insula and dlPFC. Higher MoCA scores correlated with increased connectivity within and between the Pc and frontoparietal networks. Discussion: These results reveal distinct patterns of early functional reorganization and support the subregional Pc analysis in identifying sensitive biomarkers for preclinical AD, often overlooked in conventional whole-region analyses.
