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

introductionCSF α-synuclein seed amplification assay (SAA) is a sensitive and specific tool for detecting Lewy body (LB) co-pathology in AD.

methods1637 cross-sectional and 407 longitudinal CSF samples from ADNI were tested with SAA. We examined longitudinal dynamics of Aβ, α-synuclein seeds, and p-tau181, along with global and domain-specific cognition in stable SAA+, stable SAA-, and those who converted to SAA+ from SAA-.

resultsSAA+ individuals had faster cognitive decline than SAA-, notably in MCI, and presented with earlier symptom onset. SAA+ conversion was associated with CSF Aβ42-positivity but did not impact progression of either Aβ42 or p-tau181 status. Aβ42, p-tau181, and α-syn SAA were all strong predictors of clinical progression, particularly Aβ42. In vitro α-syn SAA kinetic parameters were associated with participant demographics, clinical profiles, and cognitive decline. DISCUSSION: These results highlight the interplay between Aβ and α-synuclein and their association with disease progression.
