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

introductionWe investigated whether age of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) at first visit to a memory clinic predicts biomarker findings along the amyloid beta deposition, pathologic tau, and neurodegeneration (ATN) scheme and moderates the association between ATN biomarkers and cognition.

methodsWe evaluated [

resultsTau burden and hypometabolism were more severe in younger AD patients. Gray matter volume of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) was reduced to a greater extent in older patients. Relationships between different imaging modalities or between single imaging modalities and cognition were not moderated by age. DISCUSSION: In contrast to more severe tau burden and hypometabolism in younger patients, MTL atrophy was more pronounced in older patients. Relationships between markers of pathology and those of neurodegeneration were not associated with age. Highlights: Amyloid beta load as a biomarker of pathology burden was not associated with age at first visit to a memory clinic.Tau burden was higher, and glucose metabolism was lower in younger Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.By contrast, medial temporal lobe atrophy was less severe in younger AD patients.Younger AD patients showed more severe memory deficits with respect to age-appropriate normative data.Age had no moderating effect on relationships between different imaging variables or between single imaging variables and cognition.
