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

introductionPlasma biomarker rule-out tests can be used early in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnostic pathway to identify people with low likelihood of amyloid pathology.

methodsA care setting-agnostic cutoff for the Elecsys

resultsAt a care setting-agnostic cutoff of 0.934 pg/ml, high negative predictive value (NPV) (93.8%) and acceptable positive predictive value (PPV) (46.6%) were observed against amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET). A primary care-specific cutoff of 0.722 pg/ml showed high NPV (97.9%) against amyloid-PET. Amyloid positivity prevalence for each cutoff population was 22.5% and 13.1%, respectively. DISCUSSION: The pT181p immunoassay is a high-performance test that may substantially help improve access to amyloid pathology testing for people requiring confirmation, potentially leading to timely clinical decisions and better outcomes.
