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

backgroundRoughly 7.2 million older Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Research participation remains one of the largest barriers facing dementia research advancements.

methodsTrialMatch is a dementia research awareness tool. TrialMatch consolidates research opportunities to serve as an open-access, centralized, and user-friendly resource to identify research opportunities. Between August 2020 and June 2024, we tracked the number of research opportunities available, enrollment targets, and TrialMatch engagement.

resultsTrialMatch maintained a database of over 700 opportunities and received 18,802 calls and 122,461 web sessions, and provided 17,725 referrals to opportunities. An estimated 1,867,403 participants are needed to populate all the ongoing studies in the United States. DISCUSSION: By using a broad inclusion criteria, TrialMatch highlights the burden that AD/ADRD research faces with recruitment. While TrialMatch has demonstrated its ability to serve as an awareness tool, future analyses are needed to better evaluate the impact of the tool on enrollment.
