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

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays an essential role in brain function and development. Variants in the APP gene are associated with both familial Alzheimer's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We report a case of early onset, slowly progressive mixed dementia with a newly identified APP variant. The patient developed mild cognitive impairment at age 51, followed by neuropsychiatric symptoms, seizures, and progressive white matter changes. Despite a fluctuating clinical course, significant deterioration occurred later, culminating in death at age 77. Genetic testing revealed an APP c.2086G > A (p.Gly696Ser) variant, currently classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS).
