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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) develops over a prolonged asymptomatic phase marked by silent pathology. Identifying cognitively unimpaired individuals likely to progress to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is essential for early intervention. We investigated whether multimodal combinations of biomarkers, including frequency-specific neurophysiological activity, enhance prediction beyond demographic and genetic factors in older adults (n = 102; 31 progressors; mean follow-up = 5.9 years). Biomarkers included MEG-derived alpha power, MRI-derived hippocampal volume, plasma Aβ42/40 ratio and p-tau217, and neocortical Aβ and entorhinal tau PET. Cox regression models estimated progression risk and tested time-varying prognostic effects. Neurophysiological and proteinopathy biomarkers improved prediction beyond clinical and genetic factors. Elevated alpha power predicted short-term risk, but its predictive value weakened over time, whereas high neocortical Aβ became increasingly predictive with longer follow-up. Plasma Aβ42/40, p-tau217, and tau PET each conferred higher risk, while hippocampal volume did not. Findings support a multimodal, time-sensitive framework for individualized risk prediction in preclinical AD.
