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

backgroundCerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly, and frequently coexists with Alzheimer's disease and tau pathology. Dual-phase

methodsWe prospectively enrolled patients with probable CAA for dynamic PiB and AV1451 scans. We compared early-phase (0-6 min after tracer injection) and late-phase (40-70 min) PiB PET between the tau(+) and tau(-) groups (based on AV1451 PET) and investigated their diagnostic values for detecting tau.

resultsCAA/tau(+) had lower early-phase temporal PiB uptake than CAA/tau(-) (p = 0.014) and higher late-phase uptake in the whole cortex and temporal and parietal lobes (all p < 0.05). Early-phase temporal PiB SUVR correlated with tau burden (r = -0.34, p = 0.038). Using Youden's cut-off, early-phase and late-phase PET had sensitivities of 55% and 80% and specificities of 85% and 65% for detecting tau, respectively. Combining early- and late-phase scans provided a rule-out sensitivity of 90% and rule-in specificity of 100% for tau pathology in CAA.
