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

Alzheimer's disease is the third biggest killer in the developed world after cancer and heart disease. Although the first description dates back to almost a century ago, we still do not understand the cellular-molecular mechanisms that lead to the development of the brain pathology. There is no efficient treatment for the patients. And even the symptomatic relief comes too late, because there is no diagnostic method that could identify patients before severe clinical symptoms develop. Almost every aspect of Alzheimer's research, whether on pathogenesis, diagnosis, risk factors or treatment strategies, seem to spark controversy nowadays. Studies that apparently contradict one another or propose alternate explanations are published monthly. Patients' hopes are raised with the announcement of each new drug trial. Then hope is lost when the trials fail. Ironically, while progressive research is hampered by apparent contradictions and lack of funding, the old dogmas survive in the textbooks and no real progress is made in terms of therapy. The purpose of this review is to take stock of the most discussed and most strongly opposing views on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. These views shape the Alzheimer field currently and some will hopefully one day shape the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the disease.
