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.

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.

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of leading dementia causes, affecting over 50 million people worldwide. A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in three parallel groups was conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of Latrepirdine polymorph DMB-I in 26-week treatment of dementia in patients with AD. 135 patients of both sexes aged 60 to 90 years were randomized into three groups: DMB-I + placebo, 30 mg/day; DMB-I, 60 mg/day and Placebo. Treatment efficacy was assessed using Alzheimer’s disease Assessment Scale cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-2), quality of life questionnaire (QOL-AD), Clinical Global Impression scale (CGI) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living score (IADL). Clinical parameters and adverse events (AEs) also assessed. The efficacy of DMB-I at a dose of 60 mg/day was demonstrated by assessing the primary efficacy criterion, namely, a significant change in the ADAS-cog score after 26 weeks of treatment compared with baseline. Severity of cognitive impairment dynamics on ADAS-cog, CGI and LADL scales was significantly improved in groups receiving DMB-I at both doses, compared with placebo. AEs overall incidence was similar between DMB-I and Placebo groups. 26-week therapy with DMB-I at both doses demonstrated efficacy and favorable safety profile. 60 mg/day dose was selected as optimal dose for further studies. Study retrospectively registered on Clinicaltrials.gov on February 27, 2024, NCT06292351.
