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

introductionResearchers are searching for clinical instruments to predict amyloid positivity for disease classification. Informant-based reports could detect disease status. This study compares subjective memory complaints captured by informant-based reports between positron emission tomography (PET)-positive and PET-negative patients and hypothesizes that amyloid PET positivity associates with increased informant-based cognitive complaints.

methodsNinety-eight amnestic mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia subjects were studied. Subjective report was captured by the informant-driven Alzheimer's Questionnaire (AQ) administered before PET. Differences in demographics and AQ score by diagnostic status and amyloid status were measured, and a receiver-operating characteristic curve was calculated.

resultsSixty-five mild cognitive impairment/Alzheimer's disease amyloid PET-positive and 33 amyloid PET-negative subjects were included. AQ was significantly higher (12.51 ± 4.95) for amyloid PET-positive subjects (9.06 ± 3.65;

conclusionsAmyloid PET-positive subjects with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment have more informant-based reports of cognitive decline, indicating utility for a brief informant measure.
