Machine-learning based strategy identifies a robust protein biomarker panel for Alzheimer's disease in cerebrospinal fluid.
Article in Alzheimer's research & therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe complex pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has resulted in limited current biomarkers for its classification and diagnosis, necessitating further investigation into reliable universal biomarkers or combinations.
methodsIn this work, we collect multiple CSF proteomics datasets and build a universal diagnose model by SVM-RFECV method combined with equal sample size and standard normalization design. The model was training in 297_CSF and then test the effect in other datasets.
resultsUtilizing machine learning, we identify a 12-protein panel from cerebrospinal fluid proteomic datasets. The universal diagnosis model demonstrated strong diagnostic capability and high accuracy across ten different AD cohorts across different countries and different detection technologies. These proteins involved in various biological processes related to AD and shows a tight correlation with established AD pathogenic biomarkers, including amyloid-β, tau/p-tau, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score. The high accuracy in the model may due to multiple protein combination based on comprehensive pathogenesis and different AD progress. Furthermore, it effectively differentiates AD from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and other neurodegenerative disorders, especially the frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which share similar pathogenesis as AD.
conclusionThis study highlights a high accuracy, robustness and compatibility model of 12-protein panel whose detection is even based on label-free, TMT and DIA mass spectrometry or ELISA technologies, implicating its potential prospect in clinical application.
