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

Neurodegenerative dementias, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and related tauopathies, are traditionally defined by protein aggregation, neuronal dysfunction, synaptic loss, and glial-mediated neuroinflammation. However, emerging evidence indicates that adaptive immunity may also contribute to disease heterogeneity and progression. These disorders should not be considered classical autoimmune diseases, but they may display autoimmune-like signatures, including neural antigen-specific T cell responses, clonal expansion of T cells in blood or cerebrospinal fluid, CNS infiltration of adaptive immune cells, and brain-targeting autoantibodies. Recent studies have linked α-synuclein-specific T cell reactivity to early Parkinson's disease, identified clonally expanded CD8
