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

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease consensus recommends biomarker dichotomization, a practice with well-described clinical strengths and methodological limitations. Although neuroimaging studies have explored alternative biomarker interpretation strategies, a formally defined three-range approach and its prognostic impact remains under-explored for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers . Methods: With two-graph receiver-operating characteristics based on different reference schemes, we derived three-range cut-points for CSF Elecsys biomarkers. According to baseline CSF status, we assessed the prognostic utility of this in predicting risk of clinical progression and longitudinal trajectories of cognitive decline and amyloid-beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) accumulation in non-demented individuals (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative [ADNI]; n = 1246). In all analyses, we compared herein-derived three-range CSF cut-points to previously described binary ones. Results: In our main longitudinal analyses, we highlight CSF p-tau Discussion: The proposed approach can refine clinico-biological prognostic assessment and potentially enhance trial recruitment, as it captures faster biomarker-related cognitive decline in comparison to binary cut-points. Although this approach has implications for trial recruitment and observational studies, further discussion is needed regarding clinical practice applications.
