The Room Where It Happens: Clinician Reflections on Returning Preclinical Alzheimer's Biomarker Results to Research Participants.
Observational study in The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Disclosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers to research participants is a growing practice. Here, we aim to synthesize the experiences of clinicians leading preclinical AD biomarker disclosure. Semi-structured interviews were conducted individually with each of the four clinicians conducting biomarker disclosure as a part of a longitudinal, observational AD cohort study. Study clinicians emphasized the importance of participant education, having adequate time available for the disclosure visit, and forms to facilitate disclosure. To train and support future clinicians conducting AD biomarker disclosure, our study clinicians highlighted providing information about AD and biomarkers, shadowing a disclosure visit, having team debriefing sessions, and collating a frequently asked questions document. To date, this is the first characterization of clinician reflections on disclosing AD biomarker result to cognitively unimpaired research participants. As more clinicians in research or clinical settings seek to disclose AD biomarker results, best practices for training clinicians to lead disclosure are necessary.
