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

backgroundThere are no agreed-upon variables for predicting progression from unimpaired cognition to amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), or from aMCI to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

objectiveUse ADNI data to develop a 'Framingham-like' prediction model for a 4-year period.

methodsWe developed models using the strongest baseline predictors from six domains (demographics, neuroimaging, CSF biomarkers, genetics, cognitive tests, and functional ability). We chose the best predictor from each domain, which was dichotomized into more versus less harmful.

resultsThere were 224 unimpaired individuals and 424 aMCI subjects with baseline data on all predictors, of whom 37 (17% ) and 150 (35% ) converted to aMCI and AD, respectively, during 4 years of follow-up. For the unimpaired, CSF tau/Aβ ratio, hippocampal volume, and a memory score predicted progression. For those aMCI at baseline, the same predictors plus APOE4 status and functional ability predicted progression. Demographics and family history were not important predictors for progression for either group. The fit statistic was good for the unimpaired-aMCI model (C-statistic 0.80) and very good for the aMCI-AD model (C-statistic 0.91). Among the unimpaired, those with no harmful risk factors had a 4-year predicted 2% risk of progression, while those with the most harmful risk factors had a predicted 35% risk. The aMCI subjects with no harmful risk factors had a predicted 1% risk of progression those with all six harmful risk factors had a predicted 90% risk.

conclusionOur parsimonious model accurately predicted progression from unimpaired to aMCI with three variables, and from aMCI to AD with five variables.
