Plasma p-tau217 in Alzheimer's disease: Lumipulse and ALZpath SIMOA head-to-head comparison.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Plasma phosphorylated-tau217 (p-tau217) has been shown to be one of the most accurate diagnostic markers for Alzheimer's disease (AD). No studies have compared the clinical performance of p-tau217 as assessed by the fully automated Lumipulse and SIMOA ALZpath p-tau217. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Lumipulse and SIMOA plasma p-tau217 assays for AD. Methods: The study included 392 participants, 162 with AD, 70 with other neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) with CSF biomarkers and 160 healthy controls. Plasma p-tau217 levels were measured using the Lumipulse and ALZpath SIMOA assays. The ability of p-tau217 assessed by both techniques to discriminate AD from NDD and controls was investigated using ROC analyses. Results: Both techniques showed high internal consistency of p-tau217 with similar correlation with CSF p-tau181 levels. In head-to-head comparison, Lumipulse and SIMOA showed similar diagnostic accuracy for differentiating AD from NDD (area under the curve [AUC] 0.952, 95%CI 0.927-0.978 vs 0.955, 95%CI 0.928-0.982, respectively) and HC (AUC 0.938, 95%CI 0.910-0.966 and 0.937, 95% CI0.907-0.967 for both assays). Conclusions: This study demonstrated the high precision and diagnostic accuracy of p-tau217 for the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using either fully automated or semi-automated techniques.
