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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesPhosphorylated tau217 (pTau217) plasma assays have shown high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer disease (AD). However, validation of plasma pTau217 as a direct marker of brain-based pTau pathology requires understanding of its quantitative relationship with cortical pTau217. The primary objective of this postmortem validation study was to determine the quantitative relationship of plasma pTau217 levels and the pTau217/β-amyloid (Aβ)

methodsIn this retrospective study, patients with dementia were recruited from an academic memory clinic (University Hospitals Leuven) based on the joint availability of an antemortem plasma sample and postmortem brain tissue. An N-terminal pTau217 (pTau217

resultsThirty-two patients with dementia (mean age 66 [SD 10] years, 38% female) were included, of which 19 had an AD diagnosis and 13 had a diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with either TDP-43 or tau inclusions, as determined at autopsy. Plasma pTau217 DISCUSSION: Plasma pTau217
