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

introductionCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers can identify individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology (eg, amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles), but defined analyte cut-points using high-throughput automated assays are necessary for general clinical use.

methodsCSF amyloid β42 peptide (Aβ42), t-tau, and t-tau/Aβ42 were quantified by the Lumipulse platform in two test cohorts (A/B: Eisai BAN2401-201/MISSION AD E2609-301/302, n = 138; C: Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), n = 198), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses defined cut-points corresponding best to amyloid determinations using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The best-performing cut-point was then validated as a predictor of amyloid status in an independent cohort (D: MISSION AD E2609-301/302, n = 240).

resultsVirtually identical t-tau/Aβ42 cut-points (∼0.54) performed best in both test cohorts and with similar accuracy (areas under ROC curve [AUCs] [A/B: 0.95; C: 0.94]). The cut-point yielded an overall percent agreement with amyloid PET of 85.0% in validation cohort D. DISCUSSION: Lumipulse CSF biomarker measures with validated cut-points have clinical utility in identifying AD pathology.
