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

backgroundWhile amyloid-β (Aβ) biomarker positivity is sufficient before initiating anti-Aβ antibody therapy, recent revised criteria also highlight the importance of other biomarkers (ATNIVS) to understand heterogeneity in AD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND

participantsWe reviewed patients who attended our specialty clinic between December 2023 and October 2024. Some participated in tau PET study (

resultsDuring the period, 200 attended and 147 proceeded to screening. Lecanemab was started in 93 of 108 A+ patients; mean age 74.2 years, 73.1% female. While all tested started on lecanemab were positive on amyloid PET, 21% had only regional positivity with lower Aβ burden (centiloid 31.3 ± 17.5 vs 67.6 ± 20.2) and higher age (79.2 ± 5.1 vs 73.3 ± 8.9). While all tested had CSF Aβ42/40 values below the single cut-off 0.067 in Japan, three (8.6%) had values close to the cutoff (0.059-0.067), all of whom were male. Other biomarkers also widely varied from normal to fully abnormal; CSF pTau181 (40.5-168 pg/mL, cut-off 56.5), tau PET-based Braak stage (0-VI), NfL (10.0-103.3 pg/mL), GFAP (121.9-652.5 pg/mL), Fazekas score (0-3), and positive α-synuclein SAA (25-33%). Some associations were indicated including higher Fazekas scores in amyloid PET regional-positive group and higher plasma NfL in CSF Aβ42/40 0.059-0.067 group.

conclusionsWe identified substantial heterogeneity in ATNIVS biomarker profiles among patients receiving lecanemab in a real-world setting.
