Lysophosphatidylcholines are associated with P-tau181 levels in early stages of Alzheimer's Disease.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: We investigated systemic biochemical changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by investigating the relationship between circulating plasma metabolites and both clinical and biomarker-assisted diagnosis of AD. Methods: We used an untargeted approach with liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry to measure exogenous and endogenous small molecule metabolites in plasma from 150 individuals clinically diagnosed with AD and 567 age-matched elderly without dementia of Caribbean Hispanic ancestry. Plasma biomarkers of AD were also measured including P-tau181, Aβ40, Aβ42, total tau, neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Association of individual and co-expressed modules of metabolites were tested with the clinical diagnosis of AD, as well as biologically-defined AD pathological process based on P-tau181 and other biomarker levels. Results: Over 4000 metabolomic features were measured with high accuracy. First principal component (PC) of lysophosphatidylcholines (lysoPC) that bind to or interact with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and arachidonic acid (AHA) was associated with decreased risk of AD (OR=0.91 [0.89-0.96], p=2e-04). Restricted to individuals without an Conclusions: Our findings indicate that unbiased metabolic profiling can identify critical metabolites and pathways associated with β-amyloid and phosphotau pathology.
