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

Background: The largest identified kindred worldwide with a single mutation causing autosomal-dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) is a family from Antioquia, Colombia, carrying the Presenilin-1 (PSEN1) E280A (Paisa) mutation. The majority of mutation carriers develop dementia, typically commencing in their late 30 s, with a median onset age of 49 years. Cognitive decline is a hallmark feature. Objective: This review synthesizes the existing literature on neuropsychological assessments in PSEN1 E280A mutation carriers throughout their lifespan. We provide a comprehensive overview of cognitive outcomes in this unique population. Methods: We reviewed and integrated the published research, analyzing studies on neuropsychological assessments in PSEN1 E280A carriers. Our focus was on measures of verbal, semantic, episodic, and spatial memory, and encompassed other cognitive domains such as language, attention, visuospatial memory, and executive functioning. Results: Verbal, semantic, episodic, and spatial memory emerged as the most sensitive indicators of preclinical changes in PSEN1 E280A carriers. Inconsistencies were noted in findings from tests assessing language, attention, visuospatial memory, and executive functioning, suggesting potential limitations in detecting early cognitive changes in PSEN1 mutation carriers. Specific cognitive tasks developed for this population proved effective but underutilized. Conclusions: The review underscores the importance of continued test development tailored to detect early cognitive changes in PSEN1 E280A carriers, potentially enhancing ADAD screening. Furthermore, investigating ADAD mutations in children may identify early changes in AD and enhance our understanding of neuropsychological functioning across the lifespan. This synthesis provides valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers engaged in the study and management of ADAD.
