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

Evolving scientific evidence has begun to point towards hyperphosphorylated tau as a major neurotoxic component in the pathophysiological development of many major neurodegenerative conditions. In response to a need for accurate and reliable diagnosis and disease monitoring in clinical and trial settings, there has been great effort put into the development of tau radiotracers. While first-generation and second-generation radiotracers have provided a basis for assessing tau, concerns of inadequate specificity and selectivity have continued to motivate further study of these radiotracers and the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals. Given the prospective scientific and clinical value of a valid tau radiotracer, the molecular neuroimaging community must be aware of the most recent developments in the realm of tau radiotracer development. This brief review article will critically overview the most established tau radiotracers and, most importantly, concentrate on the progress of more recently developed tau radiotracers.
