Views and Perceptions of Amyloid Imaging in a Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease Trial.
Article in The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease, 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
backgroundMany cognitively unimpaired older adults are interested in learning their Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker status, but little is known about motivations to undergo biomarker testing and result disclosure in the setting of preclinical AD trials.
objectivesExamine whether motivations to undergo AD biomarker testing and disclosure differ for individuals who have elevated amyloid compared to those with not elevated amyloid, and whether disclosure of amyloid results impacts participants' motivations. DESIGN, SETTING,
participantsWe conducted post-hoc analyses using data from the EARLY study, a preclinical AD trial of the beta-secretase inhibitor atabecestat. As part of the screening process of the trial, participants underwent biomarker testing and disclosure. We analyzed data from n=2241 participants. MEASUREMENTS: We analyzed data from the Views and Perceptions of Amyloid Imaging (VPAI), a 9-item questionnaire assessing how strongly participants agreed with motivating factors for undergoing amyloid testing. The VPAI was administered at the first screening visit and again after amyloid disclosure.
resultsPrior to amyloid disclosure, a greater proportion of participants in the elevated amyloid group responded at the two highest levels of endorsement for the items, "to confirm the feeling that I might already be developing symptoms of AD dementia" (p<0.001) and "to prepare my family for my possible illness in the future" (p=0.008), compared to participants in the not elevated amyloid group. Following disclosure, the not elevated amyloid group had higher odds of positive change in categorical VPAI item level scores for the items "to put mind at ease" (OR: 0.54; p<0.001), "to confirm the feeling that I might already be developing symptoms of AD dementia" (OR: 0.79; p=0.049), and "to prepare my family for my possible illness in the future" (OR: 0.67; p=<0.001), while the elevated amyloid group had higher odds of positive change for the item "curiosity" (OR:1.32; p=0.014).
conclusionsInvestigators might consider adjusting recruitment strategies for future trials to align with the motivations to undergo biomarker testing and disclosure most strongly endorsed by participants with elevated amyloid.
