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

Despite extensive research, open questions about the biological underpinnings of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain. Neuroimaging biomarkers based on positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer in vivo insights into these complex biological changes and interactions. However, most evidence to date comes from cross-sectional studies, limiting our understanding of disease progression. Longitudinal studies enable the investigation of biological changes within individuals, revealing how pathology evolves over time. With this review, we provide an overview of how longitudinal imaging biomarker studies have advanced the field and how they can contribute to future research. We highlight longitudinal biomarker studies that have provided critical insights into disease trajectories, staging, and individual variability. We further assess longitudinal multimodal studies which have elucidated interactions between AD-specific pathology, amyloid-β and tau, and broader biological changes like neurodegeneration, neuronal dysfunction, vascular disease, and inflammation. Further, we discuss associations of brain changes with symptomatology and clinical outcomes and conclude with challenges and future directions.
