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 symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a major cause of dementia in older adults, are linked directly with neuronal cell death, which is thought to be due to aberrant neuronal inflammation. Autoantibodies formed during neuronal inflammation show excellent stability in blood; therefore, they may be convenient blood-based diagnostic markers of AD. Here, we performed microarray analysis of 29,240 unbiased random peptides to be used for comprehensive screening of AD-specific IgG and IgM antibodies in the blood. The results showed that (1) sequence-specific and isotype-specific antibodies are regulated differentially in AD, and combinations of these antibodies showing high area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values (0.862-0.961) can be used to classify AD, (2) AD-specific IgG antibodies arise from IgM antibody-secreting cells that existed before disease onset and (3) target protein profiling of the antibodies identified some AD-related proteins, some of which are involved in AD-related signalling pathways. Therefore, we propose that these epitopes may facilitate the development of biomarkers for AD diagnosis and form the basis for a mechanistic study related to AD progression.
