Cerebrovascular reactivity and plasma p-tau181 in Alzheimer's disease: Insights into APOE-related vascular phenotypes.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionVascular dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a key contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study explored cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), measured by the breath-holding index (BHI) via Transcranial Doppler (TCD), in relation to plasma AD biomarkers, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular burden, and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype.
methodsWe enrolled 64 patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-confirmed AD (30 APOE ε3, 34 APOE ε4) and 28 age-matched healthy controls in a cross-sectional blinded study. All participants underwent TCD to assess middle cerebral artery flow velocity and BHI. AD patients were further evaluated for insulin resistance (TyG index), magnetic resonance imaging markers of small vessel disease (SVD), and plasma biomarkers (phosphorylated tau 181 [p-tau181], amyloid beta [Aβ]42/Aβ40 ratio - AmyR). Multivariate regressions examined associations between BHI and AD-related parameters, stratified by APOE genotype.
resultsBHI was significantly reduced in both AD groups compared to controls ( DISCUSSION: Our findings indicate that CVR impairment is present across AD genotypes but more strongly linked to AD pathology and vascular-metabolic dysfunction in APOE ε3 carriers. CVR may represent a non-invasive biomarker of early vascular contributions to cognitive decline in AD.
