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

Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are known complications of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer's disease. Although many cases are asymptomatic, severe presentations can mimic stroke or toxic encephalopathy. This case highlights a rare presentation of ARIA with myoclonic movements and acute encephalopathy following donanemab infusion. We report a 75-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease who developed acute confusion, hallucinations, and involuntary movements one day after her sixth donanemab infusion. Stroke workup was negative. MRI demonstrated findings consistent with both ARIA-E and ARIA-H. She was treated with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, followed by an oral prednisone taper, which resulted in gradual neurological improvement. Clinicians must maintain a high suspicion for ARIA in patients receiving anti-amyloid therapy who present with acute neurologic decline. Early MRI evaluation and prompt corticosteroid treatment may improve outcomes.
