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

purposeDiagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires symptoms of dementia and accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau in the brain. Molecular imaging of Aβ or tau in AD, though informative, is complicated by the finding that similar changes are found in brains of ~ 30% of cognitively normal older individuals. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), normally present in low levels in the cerebral cortex, is found in high levels associated with Aβ plaques in AD. When associated with plaques, the biochemical properties of BChE are altered. The aim of the present study was to determine if the BChE ligand, [ PROCEDURES: [

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that PET imaging of BChE-associated plaques is feasible, offering an avenue to evaluate the role(s) of BChE in AD pathogenesis and progression to complement the existing AD biomarker framework.
