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

introductionEvidence from routine clinical practice regarding stage-dependent responses to lecanemab remains limited. We examined early amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) and clinical trajectories according to disease stage in a real-world cohort.

methodsAmong 89 patients who received lecanemab, 50 individuals with baseline amyloid positivity and follow-up amyloid PET were included in the primary amyloid PET efficacy analysis. Amyloid burden was quantified using the Centiloid scale. Longitudinal Centiloid trajectories were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models including disease stage, time from baseline amyloid PET, and the disease stage × time interaction, with adjustment for cumulative dose exposure, age, sex, and apolipoprotein E (

resultsAmyloid burden decreased substantially during follow-up. After adjustment for cumulative dose exposure, age, sex, and DISCUSSION: In real-world clinical practice, lecanemab treatment was associated with substantial amyloid reduction, with faster amyloid clearance observed at the MCI stage. These findings support the potential value of earlier intervention with anti-amyloid therapy, although longer follow-up and controlled comparisons are needed to determine whether early biomarker changes translate into sustained clinical benefit.
