The line goes horizontal (cognition maintenance)

The line has a clear down slope. Don't be fooled by the AVXL tactic of using a purposefully wide y-axis so it looks flattened. They only needed about 5 points spread on the MMSE range and had they done that it would look like it was racing downhill. If you want to put it into perspective compare the down slope to historical placebo groups...as you should know it does not look good.

, then begins to ascend (cognition improvement).

You are talking about the "5-week" miracle between 52 and 57 weeks? Pure decline to 52 weeks then it kicks in?...not plausible
Likely explanations:
1. the researchers knew it was the final point and were more generous in their interpretations
2. Dropout data incorporated in a poor manner
3. Random variation
