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

introductionWhile Alzheimer's disease (AD) is defined by amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles in the brain, it is evident that many other pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, neurovascular dysfunction, oxidative stress, and metabolic derangements also contribute to the disease process and that varying contributions of these pathways may reflect the heterogeneity of AD. Here, we used a previously validated panel of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers to explore the degree to which different pathophysiological domains are dysregulated in AD and how they relate to each other.

methodsTwenty-five CSF biomarkers were analyzed in individuals with a clinical diagnosis of AD verified by positive CSF AD biomarkers (AD,

resultsWe noted that while AD was associated with increased levels of only three biomarkers (MMP-10, FABP3, and 8OHdG) on a group level, half of all AD participants had increased levels of biomarkers belonging to at least two pathophysiological domains reflecting the diversity in AD. LASSO modeling showed that a panel of FABP3, 24OHC, MMP-10, MMP-2, and 8OHdG constituted the most relevant and minimally correlated set of variables differentiating AD from CU-N. Interestingly, factor analysis showed that two markers of metabolism and oxidative stress (24OHC and 8OHdG) contributed independent information separate from MMP-10 and FABP3 suggestive of two independent pathophysiological pathways in AD, one reflecting neurodegeneration and vascular pathology, and the other associated with metabolism and oxidative stress. DISCUSSION: Better understanding of the heterogeneity among individuals with AD and the different contributions of pathophysiological processes besides amyloid-β and tau will be crucial for optimizing personalized treatment strategies. Highlights: A panel of 25 highly validated biomarker assays were measured in CSF.MMP10, FABP3, and 8OHdG were increased in AD in univariate analysis.Many individuals with AD had increased levels of more than one biomarker.Markers of metabolism and oxidative stress contributed to an AD multianalyte profile.Assessing multiple biomarker domains is important to understand disease heterogeneity.
