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

BackgroundPlasma p-tau181 is a promising diagnostic marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, reflecting amyloid accumulation, tau deposition, and downstream neurodegeneration that leads to cognitive impairment. However, the specificity of plasma p-tau181 to AD-related tau pathology remains unclear.ObjectiveTo assess whether plasma p-tau181 is differentially associated with volumetric changes in distinct structures of the hippocampal formation and whether these structures mediate the relationship between plasma p-tau181 and cognition across the AD continuum.Methods213 participants with normal cognition (N = 57), mild cognitive impairment (N = 109), and AD (N = 47) from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were included for cross-sectional analyses of hippocampal formation volume that was quantified using the Automatic Segmentation of Hippocampal Subfields (ASHS) software. A subset (n = 89) was evaluated for one-year longitudinal changes in hippocampal formation volume.ResultsHigher plasma p-tau181 levels (pg/mL) were associated with decreased volumes in the CA1 and dentate gyrus, bilaterally, and right entorhinal cortex (
