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

introductionElevated tau (T+) is temporally proximal to dementia onset but less is known about factors influencing T+ onset age and time to dementia after T+ in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used sampled iterative local approximation (SILA) estimated T+ onset age (ETOA) to investigate factors associated with T+ age and time from T+ to dementia onset in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.

methodsUsing SILA-estimated amyloid positivity and T+ onset ages derived from

resultsHigher amyloid, APOE-ε4, lower education, and lower literacy associated with younger ETOA. Older ETOA and higher amyloid associated with shorter time from T+ to dementia. DISCUSSION: This work highlights the prognostic value of ETOA and the need to better characterize factors contributing to ETOA and dementia onset in AD. HIGHLIGHTS: We applied sampled iterative local approximation (SILA) to Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
