Plasma p-tau217 detects Alzheimer's disease co-pathology in cerebral amyloid angiopathy: Comparison to CSF biomarkers in the ANGMAR cohort.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionCerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) frequently co-occurs with Alzheimer's disease (AD), generating mixed vascular-neurodegenerative phenotypes. Plasma phosphorylated tau (p-tau)217 is a robust biomarker of AD, but its performance in CAA remains unclear.
methodsWe studied 231 participants, including 50 patients with CAA (Boston v2.0), 154 with AD, and 27 cognitively unimpaired controls. Plasma p-tau217 was measured on an automated platform and compared to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-defined AD status. Associations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of CAA burden were evaluated.
resultsAmong CAA participants, 29 met CSF criteria for AD co-pathology. Plasma p-tau217 discriminated CAA patients with and without AD co-pathology (area under the curve = 0.920) and showed no association with MRI markers of CAA burden. Predefined cut-offs (≥ 0.27 pg/mL and ≥ 0.34 pg/mL) yielded high accuracy for identifying AD co-pathology within CAA.
conclusionsPlasma p-tau217 shows high diagnostic accuracy for identifying AD co-pathology in CAA and is not associated with MRI markers of CAA burden, supporting its specificity for AD-related pathology.
