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 associations of plasma proteins with blood-based amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration/inflammation (A/T/N/I) biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

methodsPlasma proteomics and clinical data from the Indiana AD Research Center (N = 498) were used. Association analysis of plasma proteins with blood A/T/N/I biomarkers as well as diagnosis was performed, followed by replication in an independent cohort (N = 323), network analysis, pathway enrichment, and machine learning classification to identify proteins and pathways related to AD risk.

resultsWe identified 35 proteins associated with AD, 20 of which were replicated in the independent cohort. We identified 150, 448, and 219 proteins associated with T/N/I biomarkers, respectively, revealing biomarker-specific pathways. Network analysis identified two modules associated with T/N/I biomarkers, preserved in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and their enriched pathways. The classification model of proteins effectively differentiated AD (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.930).

conclusionOur findings suggest dysregulated plasma proteins and pathways in AD, enhancing our understanding of molecular mechanisms and diagnostic strategies for AD. HIGHLIGHTS: Plasma proteins were identified as being associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and plasma biomarkers. The identified proteins were replicated in both plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics. The identified proteins were associated with AD biomarker-specific pathways. The identified proteins improved the performance of the AD classification. Protein network analysis identified network modules and their enriched pathways.
