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

Objective: To investigate the efficiency of neurovascular coupling (NVC) in hippocampal and subcortical structures in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its relations with cognition and glycemic control, and to characterize multimodal MRI features of T2DM-related cognitive decline. Methods: Forty-nine T2DM patients and 43 healthy controls underwent montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), digit span (DST), clock drawing (CDT), and fasting blood glucose (FBG)/glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement. High-resolution T1-weighted structural images, three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) perfusion images, and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) were acquired on a 3T scanner. Volumes, cerebral blood flow (CBF), fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), degree centrality (DC), and NVC were calculated for bilateral hippocampus, amygdala, anterior thalamus, caudate, nucleus accumbens, putamen, and globus pallidus. Partial correlations assessed associations between imaging metrics, glycemic parameters, and MoCA scores. Results: T2DM had significantly lower MoCA ( Conclusions: T2DM shows decreased perfusion, reduced regional synchronization, and neurovascular uncoupling in limbic-subcortical structures including hippocampus, anterior thalamus, amygdala, while basal ganglia motor circuits are preserved. Multimodal MRI metrics may provide imaging targets for early identification and intervention.
