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

introductionStudies suggest excellent performance of plasma p-tau217 for detecting amyloid pathology, though studies in more diverse populations are needed to validate previously determined cutpoints.

methodsPlasma p-tau217 utility for detecting amyloid pathology (Aβ) via amyloid PET (

resultsPlasma p-tau217 was associated with elevated Aβ deposition and accurately classified Aβ-positive participants (PET: AUC: 94%-97%, cutpoint≥.338 pg/mL; CSF: AUC = .84, cutpoint≥.307 pg/mL). DISCUSSION: Plasma p-tau217 is an accurate indicator of amyloid pathology in a heterogeneous cohort, and superior to other plasma biomarkers assessed. Longitudinal analyses assessing impact of comorbidities on p-tau217 utility for disease progression are underway.
