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

purpose of reviewTo examine sex differences in Alzheimer's disease and cognition with a focus on hormonal transitions, biomarker trajectory, and implications for diagnosis and treatment. RECENT

findingsWomen account for nearly two-thirds of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and demonstrate important biological and clinical differences compared with men. APOE ε4 confers greater risk in women, while menopause, depression, chronic stress, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and metabolic dysfunction may further increase vulnerability. Biomarker studies suggest that amyloid trajectories are broadly similar between sexes, but women exhibit earlier or greater tau accumulation once amyloid pathology is present. Women may maintain verbal memory performance longer than men despite underlying pathology, potentially delaying diagnosis. Emerging plasma biomarkers, particularly p-tau217, may improve early detection, monitoring, and treatment. Alzheimer's disease in women reflects a complex interaction between sex-specific biology, hormonal transitions, psychosocial factors, and neurodegenerative processes. Recognizing these differences has important implications for cognitive assessment, biomarker interpretation, diagnosis, and application of disease-modifying therapies.
