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

Background: Although associations between overt vascular injury and Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been reported, the role of subclinical vascular injury in dementia pathogenesis remains unclear. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers related to endothelial dysfunction may capture subclinical vascular impairment and provide insights into early AD pathogenesis. Methods: We examined associations of ten CSF biomarkers (PDGFRβ, Osteopontin, VCAM-1, E-selectin, MMP-2, MMP-10, MMP-3, MMP-12, MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio and Periostin) with AD core biomarkers, brain volume, cognitive function, and risk of incident AD among 444 participants. Multivariable linear regression, linear mixed-effects models, Cox proportional hazards models, mediation analyses, and 3-year time-dependent ROC analyses were applied. All models were adjusted for demographic factors, Results: Seven of ten biomarkers were significantly associated with CSF tau biomarkers, whereas two biomarkers were associated with CSF Aβ Conclusion: Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers related to endothelial dysfunction and vascular injury were more consistently associated with CSF tau biomarkers than with CSF Aβ
