Proteomics of post mortem brains in early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease: Unraveling differential Aβ effects and potential AD biomarkers.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) occurs primarily as late‑onset (LOAD) and less frequently as early‑onset (EOAD). Its defining pathologies are hyperphosphorylated tau tangles and amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques.
methodsWe analyzed the proteomes of 115 post mortem temporal lobe samples by mass spectrometry and searched with a dedicated AD spectral library including tau post‑translational modifications and Aβ isoforms to examine global protein changes in LOAD and EOAD.
resultsAD tissues showed mitochondrial and synaptic pathway downregulation and immune and small‑molecule metabolic process upregulation, with EOAD exhibiting larger fold changes. AD biomarkers were elevated, and two multi‑phosphorylated tau peptides (p‑tau231/p-tau235 and p-tau231/p-tau235/p-tau237) were detected predominantly in AD. Aβ was present in 45% of cognitively unimpaired elderly controls, with subtle proteome changes resembling an early stage of neurodegeneration. DISCUSSION: EOAD appears more aggressive. Tau p-tau231/p-tau235 and p-tau231/p-tau235/p-tau237 hold promise as novel AD biomarkers. Aβ's detection in cognitively unimpaired elderly controls precedes clinical AD symptoms.
