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

Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia in the elderly, which is clinically characterized by a gradual and progressive deterioration of cognitive functions. The central and early role of β-amyloid in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is supported by a plethora of studies including genetic analyses, biomarker research and genome-wide association studies in both familial (early-onset) and sporadic (late-onset) forms of Alzheimer's. Monoclonal antibodies directed against β-amyloid demonstrate slowing of the clinical deterioration of patients with early Alzheimer's disease. Aducanumab, lecanemab and donanemab clinical trials showed slowing of Alzheimer's disease progression on composite scores by 25-40% based on the measure used. Anti-β-amyloid antibodies can cause side effects of bleeding and swelling in the brain, called amyloid-related imaging abnormalities. Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities typically occur early in treatment and are often asymptomatic, and though in rare cases, they can lead to serious or life-threatening events. The aim of this review is to evaluate the clinical meaningfulness of anti-β-amyloid therapies amidst amyloid-related imaging abnormalities concern in Alzheimer's disease.
