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 Alzheimer disease (AD) progression can be monitored by tracking intensity changes in PET standardized uptake value (SUV) ratios of amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration. The spatial extent ("fill state") of these three hallmark pathologic abnormalities may serve as critical pathophysiologic information, pending further investigation. Purpose To examine the clinical utility and increase the accessibility of PET-derived fill states. Materials and Methods This secondary analysis of two prospective studies used data from two independent cohorts: the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and the Tau Propagation over Time study (T-POT). Each cohort comprised amyloid-negative cognitively normal individuals (controls) and patients with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, or probable-AD dementia. Fill states of amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration were computed as the percentages of significantly abnormal voxels relative to controls across PET scans. Fill states and SUV ratios were compared across stages (Kruskal-Wallis
