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

objectivesAducanumab is a monoclonal antibody which has recently been licenced for use by the food and drug administration for treatment of patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild AD dementia. Appropriate use criteria (AUC) for Aducanumab in clinical practice are available. We look to review patients in our specialist interdisciplinary cognitive service with positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for AD for their hypothetical eligibility for Aducanumab, or a similar anti-amyloid agent.

methodsRetrospective analysis was undertaken of patients with positive AD-biomarker CSF analysis. Data available at time of CSF analysis was reviewed to determine hypothetical eligibility for Aducanumab.

resultsSeventy patients had positive AD-CSF biomarkers. Forty nine of these were seen in the Gerontology-led service, with 21 in the neurology cohort. Average patient age was 70 years old. Forty patients (57%) met eligibility criteria for Aducanumab therapy by AUC guidelines.

conclusionWe highlight the patients within our service who would be appropriate for Aducanumab or similar anti-amyloid agents should licencing be granted in the European Union, and the need to develop the resources and capacity to deliver this or other emerging disease modifying AD therapies.
