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

purposeRecent studies demonstrated strong agreement between early-phase β-amyloid-PET perfusion imaging and glucose hypometabolism assessed by [ MATERIALS AND

methods[

resultsNeurodegeneration status was correctly identified in 78.8% (119/151) of amyloid-negative patients through visual rating, compared to 67.5% (102/151) using logistic regression. Visual assessment assigned 75.3% (67/89) of A-N+ patients to the correct diagnostic category. In contrast, the regression model classified 69.7% (62/89) of patients.

conclusionsThe current study demonstrates an additive value of early-phase β-amyloid-PET for the differential diagnosis of dementia syndromes. While visual assessment of early-phase β-amyloid-PET already provides substantial diagnostic accuracy, a data-driven analysis approach could aid in cases of uncertainty.
