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

introductionAlzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) has been pivotal in identifying and refining Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers for clinical trials. This study leverages longitudinal data from participants who have progressed to amyloid-positivity during their study participation to track evolution of biomarkers and cognitive function.

methodsWe modeled AD biomarker (positron emission tomography [PET], structural, cerebrospinal fluid [CSF], cognition) trajectories before and after observed amyloid-positivity onset time to detect time at which each biomarker had detectable trajectory changes.

resultsAnalysis of a sub-cohort of the 20-year ADNI study (N = 90) recapitulated Alzheimer's progression beginning with amyloid alterations -4.8 to -5.3 years relative to amyloid-positivity, succeeded by neurodegeneration (t = -4.0 to -4.1 years), and CSF tau (t = -0.4 to -0.5 years). Cognitive decline was observed to significantly correspond with emergence of amyloid-positivity (t = 0.2 to 2.4 years). DISCUSSION: Our results corroborate temporal progression curves of AD biomarkers, providing insights on earliest detectable changes in objective and subjective cognitive function assessments.
