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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of cognitive decline; currently, anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies are available for clinical use as disease-modifying treatments, while many other substances are being tested in clinical trials. Molecular biomarkers for AD have been studied for more than two decades, and various guidelines and diagnostic recommendations have been published. However, there are still questions and controversies about the biomarker profile needed to confirm AD and the eligibility for such established treatments and clinical trials. Is amyloid positivity sufficient for eligibility, or is a biomarker for tau biochemistry/pathology also needed? What is the role of hybrid ratios combining amyloid and tau? Should we rely on plasma biomarkers alone? This review aimed to describe and discuss such questions and controversies.
