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

Background and purpose: Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are radiographic findings observed in the natural course of Alzheimer's disease and have been reported at higher rates in patients receiving anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody therapy. Identifying novel radiographic factors predicting ARIA risk may help prevent its occurrence, improve patient stratification, and provide insight on the underlying biological mechanisms. It remains unclear whether cerebral perivascular spaces (PVS) along with other quantitative radiographic markers of cerebral small vessel disease may help predict the risk of incident ARIA in patients diagnosed with preclinical Alzheimer's disease. Methods: Participants from the A4 study were included. PVS and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) were segmented with robust fully-automated methods on T1-weighted and FLAIR images, respectively. Number of microhemorrhages and subcortical infarcts were previously recorded by expert radiologists. Baseline measurements of these markers were used in Cox proportional-hazards models to predict ARIA risk controlling for relevant demographic, clinical, and radiographic factors. Results: Among 6,028 brain MRI from 1,088 participants (median age: 71-y.o.; 59.4% women), 356 ARIA were diagnosed (median study follow-up: 5.4 years). The volume fraction of PVS and WMH, and the number of microhemorrhages at baseline predicted higher ARIA risk (adjusted hazard ratio ranges: 1.32-1.55; adjusted Conclusions: These results support the use of quantitative measurements of PVS in addition to WMH and microhemorrhages to assist clinicians in estimating an individual's risk of ARIA.
