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

Although neurofilament light chain is a well-known marker of neuronal damage, its characterization at the proteoform level is underdeveloped. Here, we describe a new method to profile and quantify neurofilament light chain in plasma at the peptide level, using three in-house monoclonal antibodies targeting distinct protein domains and nano-liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. This study profiled and compared plasma neurofilament light chain to CSF in 102 older individuals (73.9 ± 6.3 years old), 37 of which had a clinical dementia rating greater than 0. We observed elevated neurofilament light chain in preclinical Alzheimer's disease plasma for two measures (NfL101 and NfL324) and CSF for seven measures (NfL92, NfL101, NfL117, NfL137, NfL148, NfL165 and NfL530). We found five plasma peptides (NfL92, NfL101, NfL117, NfL324 and NfL530) significantly associated with age and two (NfL148 and NfL324) with body mass index.
