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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder affecting the elderly. Current clinical diagnostic tools are often ineffective in accurately diagnosing AD. However, new advances in diagnostic imaging, particularly positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid imaging, have shown increased sensitivity and specificity, as well as high inter-reader agreement. The most commonly studied tracer, PiB-C11, has shown high affinity binding to amyloid, but is limited in its use outside of research due to its short half-life. Instead, development of other PET ligands with increased half-life, such as fluorine-18-labeled ((18)F) tracers, allows for more widespread use of PET in clinical settings. In particular, recent phase II and III trials of (18)F-florbetaben have demonstrated the high accuracy of this PET tracer in identifying amyloid accumulation. This paper will examine the techniques of amyloid imaging, focusing particularly on the recently approved (18)F-florbetaben.
