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

introductionThe Boston criteria v2.0 for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) incorporated non-hemorrhagic imaging markers. Their prevalence and significance in patients with cognitive impairment remain uncertain.

methodsWe studied 622 memory clinic patients with available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers. Two raters assessed non-hemorrhagic markers, and we explored their association with clinical characteristics through multivariate analyses.

resultsMost patients had mild cognitive impairment; median age was 71 years and 50% were female. Using the v2.0 criteria, possible or probable CAA increased from 75 to 383 patients. Sixty-eight percent of the sample had non-hemorrhagic CAA markers, which were independently associated with age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.07), female sex (OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.11-2.54), and hemorrhagic CAA markers (OR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.02-4.35). DISCUSSION: Two-thirds of patients from a memory clinic cohort had non-hemorrhagic CAA markers, increasing the number of patients meeting the v2.0 CAA criteria. Longitudinal approaches should explore the implications of these markers, particularly the hemorrhagic risk in this population. HIGHLIGHTS: The updated Boston criteria for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) now include non-hemorrhagic markers. The prevalence of non-hemorrhagic CAA markers in memory clinic patients is unknown. Two-thirds of patients in our memory clinic presented non-hemorrhagic CAA markers. The presence of these markers was associated with age, female sex, and hemorrhagic CAA markers. The hemorrhagic risk of patients presenting these type of markers remains unclear.
