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 AND

objectivesDementia-related blood biomarkers are the future of large-scale dementia risk stratification; however, the extent to which phosphorylated tau (P-tau181), neurofilament light (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) are associated with nonmodifiable risk factors has yet to be confirmed in the community, and the role of menopause has yet to be investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the association of age, sex,

methodsWithin this German population-based Epidemiologische Studie zu Chancen der Verhütung, Früherkennung und optimierten Therapie chronischer Erkrankungen in der älteren Bevölkerung cohort study (n = 9,940), a nested case-control study of 1,026 participants (1:1, without dementia during follow-up: incident dementia during follow-up) aged 50-75 years at baseline followed over 17 years was conducted. Blood biomarker measurements (P-tau181, NfL, and GFAP) were completed in blood from baseline, 8-year, and 11-year follow-ups, and cross-sectional and longitudinal regression analyses were used to assess the association with age, sex,

resultsThe mean age of participants was 64 years, and women accounted for slightly over half (54%) of the sample. Age was cross-sectionally and longitudinally significantly associated with all dementia-related biomarkers ( DISCUSSION: This population-based study on dementia biomarkers found that P-tau181 was dependent on age and
