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

Identifying plasma-based biomarkers that can accurately differentiate Lewy body disease (LBD) from Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major challenge. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry molecular cargo from their parent cells and can cross the blood-brain barrier, offer a new path forward. We developed the multiplexed Track-Etch magnetic NanoPOre (mTENPO) platform, a highly parallelized microfluidic technology for cell-specific EV isolation, and demonstrated independent enrichment of GluR2+ (neuron-derived) and GLAST+ (astrocyte-derived) EVs from the antemortem plasma of 137 autopsy-confirmed LBD, AD, mixed pathology, and control subjects. By integrating miRNA sequencing of GluR2+ and GLAST + EV cargo with plasma measurements of Aβ40, Aβ42, tau, p-Tau181, and p-Tau231, we identified a multimodal 15-feature panel that more comprehensively reflects brain pathology than conventional biomarkers. Using tenfold cross-validation to mitigate overfitting, the panel achieved an accuracy of 0.95 and an area under the curve of 0.96 for distinguishing LBD versus AD.
