Expert consensus on communicating tau PET results to persons living with MCI or dementia: Findings from a modified Delphi study.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionThere is interest in incorporating tau imaging into clinical care because it provides unique diagnostic and prognostic information. Yet, clinicians lack guidance on communicating results.
methodsWe conducted a modified Delphi process with practicing US-based expert clinicians in human tau imaging. Expert clinicians were interviewed to elicit input on best practices for communicating tau positron emission tomography (PET) results to cognitively impaired patients. These data were used to develop candidate practices and statements, which expert clinicians rated across two online survey rounds.
resultsEighteen expert clinicians completed interviews and both surveys. They reached consensus on 12 practices - like showing individuals their tau PET scan images - and eight statements for communicating tau PET results - one for tau alone, three for concordant amyloid and tau results, and four for discordant amyloid and tau results - to cognitively impaired patients. DISCUSSION: This study provides novel consensus recommendations for communicating tau PET results to cognitively impaired patients.
