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

Phase 3 clinical trials have validated the clinical efficacy of some anti-amyloid β (Aβ) antibody therapies, such as lecanemab and donanemab. To date, several clinical trials of anti-Aβ drugs have been conducted. However, most of these methods have been unsuccessful. Various Aβ aggregates are present during Aβ aggregation. The difference in the clinical efficacy of anti-Aβ antibody therapy may be attributed to variations in the Aβ aggregates targeted. Lecanemab primarily targets protofibrils, and donanemab targets plaques. Solanezumab and bapinezumab target Aβ aggregates of monomers alone or from monomers to low molecular weight oligomers. Anti-Aβ antibody therapies with clinical cognitive efficacy are thus characterized by targeting large-molecular-weight Aβ aggregates, such as protofibrils and plaques. In addition, a positive association was observed between the reduction in amyloid deposition and the inhibition of cognitive decline.
