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

The introduction of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies marks a major shift in Alzheimer's disease (AD) care, moving treatment toward biological modification and reshaping diagnostic and organizational models. At the Center for Alzheimer's and Related Diseases (CARD), IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy), among the first European tertiary centers to initiate both lecanemab and donanemab, we developed a structured fast-track pathway to support timely and safe access to therapy. Our early real-world experience highlights three critical domains. First, patient selection requires integration of cognitive, functional, and biological data, moving beyond rigid global score thresholds. Second, safety monitoring must balance ARIA risk with real-world feasibility through risk-adapted MRI surveillance. Third, effective implementation depends on transparent communication and continuous shared decision-making, particularly when benefit is uncertain or safety events occur. These elements underscore that the impact of disease-modifying therapies will depend not only on pharmacology, but on coordinated care models supported by real-world registries.
