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

introductionSclerostin, a negative regulator of bone formation, has been involved in memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models and is increased in elderly people at risk of AD. Here, we investigated sclerostin's role across the clinical stages of AD.

methodsWe evaluated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sclerostin levels in patients with dementia due to AD, mild cognitive impairment, and subjective memory complaints, biologically characterized via the amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration classification. Results were correlated with AD biomarkers, amyloid beta (Aβ) 42, phosphorylated tau (p-tau), and total tau (t-tau), and clinical parameters of dementia severity.

resultsCSF sclerostin increased in patients with dementia due to AD and correlated negatively with Aβ42 and positively with p-tau, t-tau, and dementia severity. DISCUSSION: The association of CSF sclerostin with Aβ42, tau pathology, and dementia severity in the early disease stages is of great clinical relevance for the identification of sclerostin as a promising biomarker in early AD stages.
