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

introductionClinical overlap between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and limbic-predominant age-related transactive response DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) encephalopathy (LATE), combined with the absence of validated in vivo biomarkers, complicates identification of mixed AD/LATE pathology. We labeled individuals along the AD continuum with suspected concomitant LATE using the lower quartile hippocampal volume (HV) cut-off and examined associated atrophy and cognitive profiles.

methodsWe studied cognitively impaired (CI) Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) participants with T1-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and amyloid- and tau-positron emission tomography (PET). Participants were classified into suspected (s) AD+sLATE-, AD-sLATE+, or AD+sLATE+ based on amyloid status and HV quartiles. Medial temporal lobe (MTL) and whole-brain atrophy patterns and cognitive profiles were compared cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Classification was validated in an autopsy cohort.

resultsAD+sLATE+ showed greater anterior hippocampal (AH) and amygdala atrophy than AD+sLATE-. AD-sLATE+ and AD+sLATE+ showed greater anterior MTL atrophy and worse memory and language performance. AD+sLATE+ also exhibited faster cognitive decline. DISCUSSION: A simple HV quartile cut-off may help identify mixed AD/LATE pathology and support clinical trial enrichment. HIGHLIGHTS: Quartiles of HVs stratify CI individuals. Approach distinguishes suspected AD+sLATE-, AD-sLATE+, and AD+sLATE+ subgroups. The method is simple, scalable, and requires no complex modeling or biomarker panels. It enables practical identification of mixed pathology in clinical settings. It supports trial enrichment by excluding or targeting mixed pathology cases.
