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

Amyloid-β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are the 2 histopathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer disease (AD). On the basis of the pattern of NFT distribution in the brain, Braak and Braak proposed a histopathologic staging system for AD. Braak staging provides a compelling framework for staging and monitoring of NFT progression in vivo using PET imaging. Because AD staging remains based on clinical features, there is an unmet need to translate neuropathologic staging to a biologic clinical staging system. Such a biomarker staging system might play a role in staging preclinical AD or in improving recruitment strategies for clinical trials. Here, we review the literature regarding AD staging with the Braak framework using tau PET imaging, here called PET-based Braak staging. Our aim is to summarize the efforts of implementing Braak staging using PET and assess correspondence with the Braak histopathologic descriptions and with AD biomarkers.
