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

objectiveTo investigate the imaging characteristics and management strategies of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients treated with lecanemab.

methodsWe report two clinical cases of ARIA following lecanemab treatment and analyze the imaging features, risk factors, and management strategies of ARIA based on the latest literature.

resultsThe occurrence of ARIA is associated with risk factors such as advanced age, ApoE ε4 carrier status, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and a history of cerebrovascular disease.

conclusionDuring lecanemab treatment for AD, it is essential to fully understand the mechanisms, imaging characteristics, and management strategies of ARIA. Close monitoring of clinical symptoms and imaging changes is crucial for the timely detection and appropriate management of ARIA.
