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

introductionBlood-based biomarkers (BBMs) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) provide important information about risk for dementia, but little is known about the psychological impact of sharing BBM results to participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Most AD risk disclosure studies have been conducted in cognitively unimpaired individuals and have not used BBMs. This pilot randomized trial tests the hypothesis that disclosing AD risk based on BBMs is not associated with increased psychological harm compared to standard disclosure methods.

methodsParticipants (

resultsParticipants in the intervention and control group were similar across baseline demographic and clinical factors ( DISCUSSION: In this pilot study of participants with MCI, psychological response to learning risk of progression to dementia did not differ between those who received a risk estimate based on a BBM versus standard clinical information. Two weeks after disclosure, there was an overall decline in anxiety. These preliminary findings suggest that AD risk disclosure using BBMs is not associated with psychological distress.
