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

introductionUnderstanding attitudes toward participation among diverse preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) trial participants could yield insights to instruct future recruitment.

methodsUsing data from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic AD (A4) Study, we examined differences among mutually exclusive racial and ethnic groups in views and perceptions of amyloid imaging (VPAI), a measure of motivations to undergo amyloid biomarker testing in the setting of preclinical AD. We used linear regression to quantify differences at baseline.

resultsCompared to non-Hispanic or Latino (NH) White participants, Hispanic or Latino (3.52 points, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [2.61, 4.42]); NH Asian (2.97 points, 95% CI: [1.71, 4.22]); and NH Black participants (2.79 points, 95% CI: [1.96, 3.63]) participants demonstrated higher levels of endorsement of the VPAI items at baseline. DISCUSSION: Differences may exist among participants from differing ethnic and racial groups in motivations to undergo biomarker testing in the setting of a preclinical AD trial. HIGHLIGHTS: Representative samples in AD clinical trials are vital to result in generalizability. We assessed motivations to undergo amyloid imaging in a preclinical AD trial. Racial and ethnic minority groups showed higher endorsement of VPAI items. Differences were driven by perceived risk, plan/prepare, and curiosity domains. Few observations among racial and ethnic groups changed after biomarker disclosure.
