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 progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of extracellular amyloid plaques (senile plaques) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles formed by hyperphosphorylated tau protein. This process leads to neuronal degradation and neuronal death. Phosphorylation of tau protein at threonine 231 (p-tau231) has been shown to be characteristic in post-mortem brain tissue of patients with AD and it can be sensitively detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Therefore, it may serve as a biomarker to support the diagnosis of AD. In this study, we analysed how well p-tau231 could differentiate between patients suffering from dementia either due or not due to AD by a sandwich enzyme immunoassay. CSF p-tau231 was significantly higher in patients with dementia due to AD than in those with dementia due to other causes. In addition, we studied different factors affecting p-tau231 levels in CSF. We found that apolipoprotein E genotype influences p-tau231 CSF levels. Gender and age did not affect p-tau231 levels in CSF. Our findings indicate that p-tau231 levels in CSF can be a valuable marker for the clinical diagnosis of AD.
