Early termination of pivotal trials in Alzheimer's disease-Preserving optimal value for participants and science.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Participants in Alzheimer's disease late-phase clinical trials are frequently confronted with a situation of early termination. We discuss measures to protect the perceived value of study participation and to maximize the scientific value under such circumstances. A communication strategy should ensure that trial participants maintain a positive relationship with the research team and have their informational needs optimally met. Measures to maximize the scientific value may include data/sample sharing, strategies for personalized medicine, as well as scientific follow-up. Critical for the success of such a concept are networks of excellence, extending models of existing initiatives like Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation Network (GAP-Net). These networks could fundamentally strengthen the role of clinical investigators if they decide on their involvement in trials based upon their estimation of the scientific value and benefit for the participants, actively contribute to scientific analyses, and mediate optimal communication among the relevant trial stakeholders.
