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

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is associated with perivascular disruption, which is caused by progressive amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition in vessels. Previous autopsy studies have shown that the prevalence of CAA in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is 70% to 90%. CAA is principally characterized by restricted lobar microbleeds (MBs), which can be detected by gradient-echo T2* (GRE) and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). We herein report on a 62-year-old man who presented with 8 years of memory impairment. The apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype was ε4/ε4, and a brain GRE performed 28 months before death revealed mild atrophy and no MBs. At autopsy, the patient scored "A3, B3, C3" according to the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association guidelines; the patient thus exhibited a high level of AD neuropathological changes. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining for Aβ showed antibody accumulation and severe cerebral amyloid angiopathic changes in numerous vessels with amyloid deposits. Our case suggests that radiological CAA markers, such as cerebral microbleed (CMB) or cerebral superficial siderosis, may not suffice to detect amyloid angiopathy in cerebral vessels. CAA should therefore be considered as a combined pathology in APOE ε4 homozygotes with AD, even if such patients do not exhibit CMB on MRI.
