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

backgroundMultimer detection system-oligomeric amyloid-β (MDS-OAβ) is a measure of plasma OAβ, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However, the relationship between MDS-OAβ and disease severity of AD is not clear. We aimed to investigate MDS-OAβ levels in different stages of AD and analyze the association between MDS-OAβ and cerebral Aβ deposition, cognitive function, and cortical thickness in subjects within the AD continuum.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we analyzed a total 126 participants who underwent plasma MDS-OAβ, structural magnetic resonance image of brain, and neurocognitive measures using Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease, and cerebral Aβ deposition or amyloid positron emission tomography (A-PET) assessed by [

resultsCompared to the NC (0.803 ± 0.27), MDS-OAβ level was higher in the A-PET-negative MCI group (0.946 ± 0.137) and highest in the A-PET-positive MCI group (1.07 ± 0.17). MDS-OAβ level in the AD dementia group was higher than in the NC, but it fell to that of the A-PET-negative MCI group level (0.958 ± 0.103). There were negative associations between MDS-OAβ and cognitive function and both global and regional cerebral Aβ deposition (SUVR). Cortical thickness of the left fusiform gyrus showed a negative association with MDS-OAβ when we excluded the AD dementia group.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that MDS-OAβ is not only associated with neurocognitive staging, but also with cerebral Aβ burden in patients along the AD continuum.
