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

In evaluating disease changes, it is critical to have measurements that are sensitive, specific, and reliable. Cognitive decline, particularly in the context of Alzheimer's disease, is an area that has attracted numerous recent studies, and the proposed biomarkers used in these investigations need to be validated. In this review, we highlight studies with important implications about the role of imaging biomarkers in cognitive decline and dementia as well as in distinguishing preclinical dementia before evidence of cognitive decline. Structural changes determined on cross-sectional and longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging provide early prediction of dementia, particularly when combined with other measures. Molecular imaging using positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography tracers quantify the presence or activity of receptors, transporters, enzymes, metabolic pathways, and proteins. The newest developments in molecular imaging are described, and methods are compared. Distinguishing features of imaging biomarkers among dementias and the spectrum of preclinical Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease are described. Appropriate use criteria for positron emission tomography with amyloid tracers are delineated. Although these efforts are still in the early phase of development, there is great promise for further development in structural magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography technologies.
