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

backgroundDementia affects over 50 million individuals globally, predominantly due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Effective early detection and intervention remain clinical challenges, as there is a lack of unified, portable solutions to assess multiple biomarkers.

methodsWe evaluated Evoked Potential Tomography (EPT), an EEG-based method using a novel visual evoked potential protocol. An automated pipeline for EEG preprocessing, ERP extraction, feature selection, optimization, and regression modeling was developed to estimate key AD biomarkers: PET-amyloid standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR), CSF phosphorylated tau (p-tau181), Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores.

resultsRegression models using ERP features from dementia participants demonstrated strong correlations (r = 0.8-0.94, p < 0.01) between predicted and true PET-amyloid SUVR, p-tau181, FCSRT, and MMSE values. In an independent external cohort, PET-amyloid SUVR predictions remained significantly associated with true values (r = 0.60, p < 0.01). DISCUSSION: Despite limitations, these preliminary results support EPT's potential as a sensitive and non-invasive method for estimating AD-related biomarkers in a clinically enriched AD cohort. Further validation studies are ongoing.
