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

Objectives: We evaluated the relationship between regional accumulations of the tau positron emission tomography (PET) tracer THK5351 and cognitive dysfunction in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. Methods: The cases of 18 patients with AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD who underwent three-dimensional MRI, fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG)-(PET), Pittsburgh compound B (PiB)-amyloid PET, and THK5351-tau PET were analyzed. Their mean age was 70.6±11.3, their mean Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was 22.3±6.8, and their mean Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subtest (ADAS) score was 12.5±7.3. To determine the correlation between each patient's four imaging results and their MMSE and ADAS scores, we performed a voxel-wise statistical analysis with statistical parametric mapping (SPM). Results: The SPM analysis showed that the bilateral parietotemporal FDG accumulations and MMSE scores were positively correlated, and the bilateral parietotemporal FDG accumulations were negatively correlated with ADAS scores. There were significant correlations between bilateral parietotemporal and left posterior cingulate/precuneus THK5351 accumulations and MMSE/ADAS scores. Conclusion: In the AD brain, THK5351 correlates with neuropsychological test scores as well as or more additional than FDG due to its affinity for both tau and monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), and measurements of THK5351 may thus be useful in estimating the progression of AD.
