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

Introduction: To ensure Alzheimer's disease-modifying treatments can be initiated in diverse populations, efficient pathways to obtain timely diagnoses are required. Methods: This interim sub-analysis of a multicenter US study included cross-sectional surveys and interviews with neurologists at 12 diverse sites to assess real-world lecanemab use. Results: At survey completion, ∼1342 patients had received lecanemab. Most referrals originated from primary care. Amyloid pathology was confirmed primarily by positron emission tomography (58%) or cerebrospinal fluid (35%), with blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) increasingly used to reduce diagnostic delays. All sites performed apolipoprotein E4 Discussion: These findings demonstrate the feasibility of lecanemab integration in diverse clinical settings and highlight the importance of primary care physician engagement, optimization of referral pathways, and expanding BBM use in improving timely diagnosis, equitable access, and early treatment initiation.
