Review in Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, continues to soar with the rapid growth of the elderly population, thus creating an enormous social and economic burden. Although disease-modifying drugs to treat AD are not yet available, several candidate drugs are in clinical trials. Most of these drugs are expected to be effective at the early stages of the disease, and therefore the early and accurate diagnosis of AD will be a critical factor in efforts to improve the prognosis of patients with AD. This review focuses on lead radioligands developed to date and their preclinical data in order to facilitate the development of tau-specific positron emission tomography radioligands that are of great interest to the scientific community.
