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

introductionOur previous antibody-based cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics study showed that Thimet oligopeptidase (THOP1), an amyloid beta (Aβ) neuropeptidase, was increased in mild cognitive impairment with amyloid pathology (MCI-Aβ+) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia compared with controls and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), highlighting the potential of CSF THOP1 as an early specific biomarker for AD. We aimed to develop THOP1 immunoassays for large-scale analysis and validate our proteomics findings in two independent cohorts.

methodsWe developed in-house CSF THOP1 immunoassays on automated Ella and Simoa platforms. The performance of the different assays were compared using Passing-Bablok regression analysis in a subset of CSF samples from the discovery cohort (

resultsTHOP1 concentrations moderately correlated between proteomics analysis and our novel assays ( DISCUSSION: Validation of our proteomics findings underpins the potential of CSF THOP1 as an early specific biomarker associated with AD pathology. The use of antibody-based platforms in both the discovery and validation phases facilitated the translation of proteomics findings, providing an additional workflow that may accelerate the development of biofluid-based biomarkers.
