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

introductionCommercially available plasma p-tau217 biomarker tests are not well studied in ethnically diverse samples.

methodsWe evaluated associations between ALZPath plasma p-tau217 and amyloid-beta positron emission tomography (Aβ-PET) in Hispanic/Latino (88% of Cuban or South American ancestry) and non-Hispanic/Latino older adults. One- and two-cutoff ranges were derived and evaluated to assess agreement with Aβ-PET.

resultsA total of 239 participants underwent blood draw and Aβ-PET (age 70.8 ± 7.8, 55.2% female, education 15.6 ± 3.4 years, 48.9% Hispanic/Latino, 94.9% white). Plasma p-tau217 showed excellent discrimination of Aβ-PET positive and negative participants (visual read: AUC = 0.91 [0.87-0.95], DISCUSSION: Plasma p-tau217 (ALZPath) relates to brain Aβ in Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino older adults. Independent validation and replication are necessary to establish reference ranges and inform appropriate contexts of use across ethno-racially diverse populations. HIGHLIGHTS: Plasma p-tau217 (ALZPath) and Aβ-PET were measured in Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino older adults.Plasma p-tau217 accurately discriminated Aβ-PET positive and negative participants.Applying a two-cutoff "intermediate" plasma p-tau217 approach could reduce need for more invasive and costly testing.Plasma p-tau217 associations with Aβ-PET were strong within both Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino groups.
