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

introductionIt is unclear whether aggregated plasma protein risk scores (PPRSs) could be useful in predicting the risks of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

methodsThe Cox proportional hazard model with the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator penalty was used to build the PPRSs for MCI and AD in 1515 Framingham Heart Study Generation 2 with 1128 proteins measured in plasma at exam 5 (cognitively normal [CN] = 1258, MCI = 129, AD = 128).

resultsMCI PPRS had a hazard ratio (HR) of 6.97 [5.34, 9.12], with a discriminating power (C-index = 82.52%). AD PPRS had a HR of 5.74 [4.67, 7.05] (C-index = 88.15%). Both PPRSs were also significantly associated with cognitive changes, brain atrophy, and plasma AD biomarkers. Proteins in the MCI and AD PPRSs were involved in several pathways related to leukocyte, chemotaxis, immunity, inflammation, and cellular migration. DISCUSSION: This study suggests that PPRSs serve well to predict the risk of developing MCI and AD as well as cognitive changes and AD-related pathogenesis in the brain. HIGHLIGHTS: PPRSs were developed for the risk of AD and AD preclinical stage, MCI. PPRSs were developed for MCI and AD associated with cognitive changes, loss of brain volume, and increasing level of plasma AD biomarkers. Leukocyte, chemotaxis, immunity, inflammation, and cellular migration enriched in proteins were identified as being involved in MCI and AD PPRSs.
