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

introductionPlasma phospho-tau217 (p-tau217) has been shown to demonstrate equal performance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to predict amyloid beta (Aβ) positivity. Although such high-performing plasma tests provide confirmatory information on Aβ status, further information is desperately needed to discern optimal blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) stage.

methodsFrom the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle study, 387 participants underwent [

resultsUsing a panel of biomarkers was significantly better at predicting disease stage compared with p-tau217 alone; however, the difference was dependent upon p-tau217 assay. DISCUSSION: Utility of extra BBMs in addition to p-tau217 provides useful information regarding overall disease burden during the separate stages of AD. HIGHLIGHTS: Of the separate assays for p-tau217, the Lumipulse assay demonstrated significantly better performance than the ALZpath assay to separate disease stages. Multivariate blood-based biomarker (BBM) models are significantly better at predicting the presence of A/T from A-T- as compared with any p-tau217 assay. Multivariate BBM models have higher area under the curve values to predict disease stage than Alamar and ALZpath p-tau217, but not Lumipulse p-tau217 during later disease stage comparisons.
